I really liked it it is full of action and it kept me captivated! At the beginning it felt to realistic but then I fell in love with it and couldn't stop especially when Juliette and Adam started to escape and I love that she finds people like her at the End (Omega something) and am excited to read the next books because I need to now what happens next! Love Kenji and the other people at Omega they seem so kind! I especially adore Kenji though he seems really perfect!

-foul language 

-Sentence fragments through out story 

I read this book years ago. I did not remember all the cursing. The romance scenes were a lot more out there than I had remembered. I like the storyline. Within the book there are some sentences that were struck out, indicating thoughts that Juliette thought, but didn’t want to think. This made it a little more difficult to read at times, but I liked the insight into her mind. Toward the end of the book, I kept thinking about the ending of another book. I can’t remember what book it was. I’m thinking it was either a book within the hunger games, divergent, uglies, matched, or under the never sky series. I would like to read the next book in the series.

I've been meaning to read this book for ages...and it's just been sitting on my shelf waiting patiently. Welp last night I finally decided to crack it open...and ended up having to force myself to go to sleep and finish it today.

Juliette is such a broken girl who's been mistreated and ostracized for things that are out of her control. In a dystopian world where her powers could tip the balance in any direction...there are those out there that want her by their side.

This was such a fun read I can't wait to dive into the rest of the trilogy and see where it leads us!

Lots of promise. I really enjoyed the author’s writing. Very descriptive and lots of poetic imagery. Probably not for everyone but I liked it. Story ended up being a kind of generic dystopian novel. Maybe I’ll read the next if I’m in between books but I’m not running to download book 2.
