Graff McDonaldnever intended to end up in Penance, it wasn't part of the plan, the plan was to head for his sire, Sophie's, party and party hard. However Penance is cursed and he's stuck in it, there he finds Jessa who has been surviving in this town for the five years it has been cut off from the rest of the world as best as she can, they're attracted but can they survive the stress everyone is under.
I found it an interesting read, the characters were well-drawn and the situations believable (for certain limits of believability). I enjoyed the read, it kept me engaged.
