Just couldn't connect with this book. I liked Celine's personality and who doesn't enjoy a dark mysterious stranger? But for me the plot was weak and very easy to guess the reveals, don't get me wrong I know the clues were there for a reason but sometimes it felt too shoe-horned into the story. 
 Sometimes we'd get an immersive scene with wit and depth and then others it felt lost and like a forced info drop that actually didn't give much context. 
 I enjoyed the premise of this book, its seems like a good basis for a supernatural meets 'real' world story but wouldn't read again
