I didn't mind this book, but I didn't really enjoy it. There were several slow moments that the story dragged through, the romance didn't feel particularly interesting or believable to me. I gravitated towards this book because I like books that bend or mix genres, which many of the reviews of this book stated, but I found that it was very clunky. The book beginnings with a bit of sci-fi but more of a slow-burn romance, then moves into a bit of a mystery and a romance, then something VERY sci-fi and some reveals that just felt... odd.

I think this book has a lot of potential, it just didn't quite work for me over all.
