I bought the book because I saw much of in relation to another book series (all for the game by Nora Slavic) and I'm not disappointed. It's really good and I am totally ready for the next books in this series. I'm really curious for a few things. What did Ronan mean with his last sentence? Will Blue really kill the person she kisses? 
It's a well written book, I like it.

A good start to a series. I knew going in that this is a “vibes” book which helped, and it’s a relatively fast read. Even so there’s a couple chapters I was confused by being included that seem to be extraneous. Overall a lot of short chapters which I like. 

This gave me definite call backs to The Whispering Dark which I feel like is a lesser known ya fantasy stand-alone that if you liked this you would probably love.

I look forward to continuing the series as I hear it gets better with each book.
