Review

5/5 Stars

What an awesome book, Ella did a wonderful job on this story! I was hooked in the first few pages and fell in love with the story I’ll defiantly be reading the next two books that are out. I read Stained all in one day I just could not put it down and Cayne defiantly made my hot bad boy list! I loved how Julia was abel to overcome everything thrown at her. She’s a wonderful strong character and I can’t wait to see how she grows more in the books to come.

After Julia’s home is destroyed in a fire that also killed her foster parents, Julia refuses to go back into sate care and hides out in a warehouse. This is where things get a little crazy for Julia a demon tracks her down and try’s to kill her but then the mysterious Cayne shows up and saves her. They both embark on a journey to find the demon who killed her foster parents and along the way learn about one another and start to fall for one another. But when Cayne filly regains his memory what will happen to their relationship? Will they have any chance to stay together or will they be torn apart?

I would defiantly recommend this book to my readers and friends.
