Reviews
After reading all the great reviews of this book I decided to give it a try. It was very disappointing. The characters were frustrating and unrelateable and the story seemed was very undeveloped and seemed to drag on. I love YA series but this one I won't be continuing.
I liked the atmosphere of this book, but not much happens and you don't really learn what's going on.
