 “Death arrived at twilight” What an insane opening line to a book. My interest was immediately piqued, and it just continued to deliver over and over. Kiva was such a well written character with just the right amount of mystery to her, and a compelling backstory to make her actions make sense. I loved her character so much. The story itself kept me on the edge of my seat, and the ending had me in absolute chock, hand over my mouth and tears running. It tied the story together so well, while still making me want to get the second book right at this moment. The other characters were so fleshed out and real, and the attention to detail even in the minor characters and events were great. Tipp is my all time favorite child in any story ever, I will kill for him. My only tiny little bit of critisism is that some dialouges were a liiiiitle drawn out and had me almost getting frustrated at them for being too slow, but it only happened like twice and didn’t really bother me that much, it just keeps it from reaching that 5 star mark just slightly. It’s such a great book and I’d really recommend it.
