3.0

This story had a lot of potential but kinda fell short with pacing and execution. Things were introduced at weird times in the story and the first 3rd was incredibly slow. I think that Erin A. Craig had lots of good ideas but didn't really know where she was going until halfway through the book. 

One of the big problems is that Annaleigh is not a very active participant in the story. Pretty much everything would have happened whether or not she was present which made it hard to engage with her.

I did enjoy this book but I think it could have been so much more.
