I found this book to be both emotional and horrific all at the same time! While it is not the scariest book I've ever read the mystery and suspense kept me glued in right to the end.

5.0

from the very first chapter, I knew this would be a five star. I knew this book would not disappoint. And I was so right! Loved how the author depicted the nowdays 20-something, that (my) generation who struggles to fit in because this world was not made for them. The interactions between the generations is so accurate, ma'am I couldn't stop thinking about it. This book is so reflective of our society. I laughed with the characters and I feared with and for them too, and that's what I like in a book. That's also how you recognise a good book.
Kiersten White transport us in a reality not so far from ours, one in which we keep living in the exact same cycles, as she put it in the acknowledgement. Generations after generations we make the same mistakes. Will we wake up and say fck it, today we change?

I Hated all the characters, they didn't have any personality except for the stereotypes.
None of the characters had any chemistry with eachother.
The ending sucked.
