Too slow, I was interested at first but I’m just not into the constant switching of perspectives

Better than The Cabin (seriously, don't even bother....) but still not great. The redundancy is overwhelming. She's in love; we get it. He is torn; we get that, too. I won't be reading any more of this author's books.

Wow. Just wow. This was amazing. I have never read a book with a cult in it. But this was a great first book. Very entertaining from beginning to end. I loved Scarlet and Noah. I believe they are great for each other. I only have one question. Natasha, will there be a book two? I want to know if they find her!!

I don’t have love or hate for the book. It was just meh.
The characters were ok but I think this is more for the younger age group.

This book is about a girl named Scarlett who doesn’t have memory of her life before the age of 4 until she is in a car accident and starts to remember some things that she wants answers too but her family or boyfriend won’t really entertain it but come to find out know the truth the whole time. When she’s kidnapped and taken back to Ireland to learn all the “truth” she finds out that she is the salvation to her real family’s problem and they try to sacrifice her so they could have “eternal life” once they die.
