Every day, Zoe struggles to keep going. The cruel winter took her father's life and left her angry and broken hearted. As she carries her little brother through a snowstorm that could kill him in minutes, her only thought is finding shelter. The cabin beyond the woods is far from the place of safety she hoped it would be, but it is there that she meets a man whose muscular body, marked with strange and primitive tattoos, hints at an extraordinary story. He has the power to light up the lake, and with it, Zoe's world. Zoe calls the stranger X. He is a bounty hunter, tormented by the evils of his victims, which course through his veins. X has never known anything but hate, until he meets Zoe. She shows him what a heart is really for and, if they can find a way to be together, just maybe, his pain can help Zoe forget her own. This high-stakes, heart-pounding romance will leave readers breathless for this break-out new series and its sequel.

The romance really messed up my enjoyment of this book. It was just to fast and the whole time I was just like “you just met like yesterday and your in love?! this dude is a supernatural bounty hunter who is literally from hell.”
Besides that, I did really like Zoe as a character, as well as her family and Val. It was a really funny book and I think I would have liked a lot more if it weren’t for the insta love. The supernatural parts where also a little bit confusing and boring. I always just wanted it go back to Zoe, where nothing paranormal was happening. And I’m a person who only reads fantasy/science fiction

I got this book for free at comic con.

This book was such an fast pace read and i really enjoyed it. I went in thinking it was a standalone but i really hope we get more books in the future. I love both main characters and also just the world that was build for these characters. I thought the book had a nice balance between real world and the lowlands. I loved the main characters relationship and felt the book had a solid beginning, middle and end and left me wanting more. I loved the book really kept me on the edge of my seat!

The first chapter is a bit confusing to me. Why in the world would Zoe let Jonah go out during a snowstorm? Why would their mother leave them alone, knowing they aren't old enough to make good decisions????

After a little while, she goes out to look for her brother who didn't answer when she called for him to come back inside. She finally finds him underneath their dogs which they inherited from their dead neighbors. 

They go in the house where to the two old people used to live to keep warm. While inside trying to stay warm, someone approaches. That someone was the person who killed her neighbors. He came to drown the dogs for some crazy unknown reason. When he tries to drown them, X shows up. X is someone from the Lowlands there to punish Stan for his evil deeds.

Later that night, after she emails the police about Stan, they show up to question her about Stan and X. She lies about X until they show her the picture she posted on Instagram of him (typical teenage move). Her mom shoos them away and leads the children to the garage where she's hidden X.

X is a man/boy who takes people to hell or to the Lowlands for harming/killing others. He knows people there, he trains people to do what he does and nobody goes by their given names.

And that's about as far as I got. This story has such a great concept. I cannot handle the writing though. I don't know if it's because the fact that the book I have hasn't been edited or what. I was so excited to read this book! 

I'm thinking I'm going to read it again when it comes out!
