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!

This book surprised me. I thought it was going to be a "steamy" novel a la "shades of grey" and that I would be abandoning it pretty quickly. It turned out to be something else entirely.  Starting in an asylum with a broken teenage girl, that was very well written, it soon became clear that it was set in a dystopian near future and the last few chapters felt more like a superhero back-story than anything else. I am very intrigued to see where this goes in the next book. I liked the characters and the writing style and yes, there were a couple of steamy scenes, but they worked in the context they were placed in and were Ok.
