3.5

     This book was interesting. I really didn't think that I would like this book, but I surprisingly enjoyed it. Now this book is by no means the best Colleen Hoover book, but I can say I don't think it's the worst either. I want to read all of Colleen's books, so I of course had to read this one. 

      I have heard a few people say it was predictable, I can say I read the back of the book and I guessed what was going to happen. It was a little bit like Verity, but like the Walmart version. 

     I have never read a supernatural romance..... it was a little weird to wrap my head around. I thought that the concept about the romance was odd to say the least and I kinda felt a little uncomfortable. This is kinda random but I couldn't stand Layla's sister and her boyfriend. 

     This book wasn't at all scary. I was interesting and I wanted to know how it ended but I didn't really feel the thriller aspect of it. I also thought the ending was a little rushed. I felt like Colleen didn't know how to end this book, so she left it on a cliffhanger then added a useless epilogue that didn't do anything for me.

     I love how I started the review saying I liked the book than this whole thing has been me talking about everything I didn't like. I thought the book was super interesting. It had me hooked and wanting more till the end. Colleen hasn't failed me yet!

I like that Colleen wants to switch genres sometimes and I loved Verity but something about this book didn’t sit right with me, but I do believe Colleen did a beautiful job writing this!
