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!

it was something, that’s for sure. i don’t really know if i liked it or not to be honest. the beginning was horribly underwhelming, the middle was nice, and the end went back to being horribly underwhelming.

also, why was the suit purple? considering her abilities are supposed to be used at a close range -that i know of- why is she looking like a walking highlighter? ‘cause i’m imagining the shade of purple is like #7600bc or #7f00ff which is… rough.

anyways, i’ll keep reading because warren is the epitome of delulu is the solulu

Started strong. Perfect for vibe readers who wanted all the emotions, tension and mesmerizing writing. 

Then it stalled. And we kept that struggle for the rest of the book. The world building is barely there and I was left with more questions than answers. The insta-love and overly horns MC became a turnoff. I get it, you can't touch people but damn I was tired of her pining after this vanilla cupcake.
