I really enjoyed this book. Much more than o thought I would. In the first several pages I wasn’t too sure but I got hooked quickly and found myself so curious about the mystery unfolding. As with most YA, the romance development was kind of erratic and unlikely though throughout the book, things start making more sense. At times, hard to follow descriptions. Given this is a science fiction, there’s times when the environment just isn’t easy to imagine and the verbiage is confusing but the story is fantastic and keep you wanting to find out more.
Moderate: Body horror, Death, Suicide, and Blood
Minor: Grief and Injury/Injury detail
