After a betrayal so intense as that of the one in Pretty Young Things it leaves the reader thirsty for revenge, a deep seeded need to right the wrongs done to so many. Nothing about this story is cut and dry, black and white. There are so many gray areas of what is right versus what needs to be done and the characters keep you on your toes throughout. I was never quite sure what was coming next. And honestly as much as I adored Dante as a main hero it’s is his anti hero transformation that made him even more appealing because I wanted to hug and strangle him at times for the choices he made towards Mercy both good and bad.
There is an over abundance of emotion throughout Pretty Young Things that left me heartbroken and then whole again so many times over. Ace Gray weaves this story with a strand of dark, a strand of love, a strand of deceit, fear, right, wrong, and a bit of bloodshed. And it makes for such a beautiful and interesting story!
