I'm not going to recommend it --- You will either like it or hate it.
Trigger warning: gratuitous pedophilia in the first few pages.
The beginning is nasty filth with pedophilia, worse yet it was unneeded as it didn't help the story line other than to show depravity. I admit I set the book aside never intending to finish it. A couple months later, I was bored and started reading it again. I think the author intended to shock with the beginning, but eventually it became more of a steamy romance between the two main characters, a romance that goes back a millennia or so.
A problem is that if you get "burned" like that in the beginning, while reading the book you are always wary of another stunt that the author might pull. My recommendation is that if you must read the book, skip the first chapter.
I really liked how the story unfolded slowly, it's set in modern times but the characters history goes back thousand(s) of years. It's engaging, but getting burned by the author right off the bat is unpleasant.
