while the book was very thrilling and I enjoyed it, I feel like a lot of aspects were woven in and then just forgotten about/never explained fully? idk whether that will be picked up on in following books though.

I don't think it needed the lovestory, really, but I guess it can't be avoided

Despite how tricky the premise is, it is much more respectful than you think it would be. The romance is a bit trite, but it does become quite sweet over time.

It took me a while to get into this book but I couldn’t put it down! The descriptions & some pictures are so creepy but I really enjoyed the writing. The ending definitely made up for the slow start!
