I actually have no idea where to start. This is one of the best books I have ever read. For this to be the authors first book I am in complete shock. Shes actually out done herself. I currently don’t know how I’m going to be able to wait until the next book in this series comes out. She knows what she did leaving the book with that ending!! I am just speechless. This book has got to have one of the best, if not the best, banter I have ever read. The dialogue between Kai and Pae is so well written and so thoughtout I just couldn’t get enough of it. I don’t know how I’m going to function in the time I have to wait for the next book. Almost angry that the ending has such a twist and you are left literally desperate for more. This book… I don’t even know at this point. I’m so nervous to find out what happens at the end of Kai’s and Pae’s story. I just want to see them happy together so bad

What a fun ride! I devoured this book in a single sitting. I saw this book everywhere for a while, and now I’m kicking myself for waiting so long to read it! Aaaaaand, I didn’t get the second book from the library so I have to wait to keep reading. (When will I learn?)

I feel like I've read this before. It's very similar to Hunger Games and Red Queen.
