The author did her best to write a book. I was particularly upset by the ending, as I didn’t realize this was a series. It has quite the cliffhanger so be prepared to jump into the next one. The feelings between the characters are a little too immediate because they’re based on a history that already exists, so I didn’t really think it made sense. It was a fun read though and I recommend it if you are into a pretty heart wrenching story keeping you on your toes. Some elements drag out a bit toward the end and the emotions are spelled out a little flatly; I did not feel myself tied to the characters, but I am extremely intrigued in their story and will read the next one. Easy read, just not the most impressive writing.
