This was an easy read with some thrills and suspense. BUT overall it’s giving slightly generic and boring. I’m glad to see more of Will’s personality shine through in the 2nd instalment, but ultimately it wasn’t enough to really draw me in. Jessica was rather poorly written – she wasn’t interesting and felt very distant throughout. I didn’t understand her character much, so it was hard to care about her.
It would be interesting to see how the relationship between Will and Jessica develops over the series, and to learn more about their backstory. But there’s not much drive for me to pick up the next book… because I’m starting to feel that the writing is rather cliché, with lots of wooden dialogue and unnecessary details that get abit draggy.
