"A scream can break the heart. A whisper can fracture the soul."
What a quote to start a book with. It instantly grabbed me and I knew I was beginning another epic journey, courtesy of one of my all-time favourite authors!

Losing someone you love is always hard but when you believe it's for the greater good, you make do. You never forget but you try and make the best of the situation.
Dove has no choice but to relinquish her soul to save the one person who means the most to her.

This tale is filled with ups and downs. I've laughed at Dove's spunk, her feistiness and cried when it all seems so hopeless.
This is a truly emotional account of a strong woman who is determined to provide for the person she cares for, no matter what that means. Becoming numb to the world she inhabits, she's carved a place for herself but one slip could end it all.
That slip no only reacquaints her with someone from her long suppressed past but wrenches the memories and pain to the forefront....and her more recent past is hot on her heels too.
I reached a point in this book, where I was actually scared. Scared to keep reading, scared not to.
If you've read any of DH Sidebottom's books, you'll know that they are truly beautifully written. Always evocative, always emotionally draining and always, frankly unforgettable and this book delivers on all those expectations. It rips you open and lays your emotions bare.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough! Another stunning masterpiece from this talented author!

After her mother abandoned her when she was just a child, Dove fled the only life she’d known with her younger sister, Serenity, frightened that the authorities would tear them both apart.
Leaving behind a life of poverty and constant hardship with the group of travellers she had grown up with, Dove has no choice but to turn to a life of debauchery and crime to feed their bellies and provide them with shelter and security.
Fast forward ten years and life is now so very different for Dove. Her once best friend and fellow traveller, Flick O’Kane, now a Hollywood star, appoints Dove to accompany him to a charity ball, unaware just who exactly his companion really is.
Both their lives come together in an explosion of sex, drugs and secrets. The friendship they once held close is about to be tested when their past threatens to rip them both apart and endangers not just their own lives but the very life Dove has broken her own soul for – Serenity’s.
