Douglas says this book can be read as a standalone. I beg to differ. If it is classified as a standalone, it should read as a standalone. But it doesn't. I wish she would have at least added context into who these 8 characters were that were thrown at our faces in the first couple pages. 

I also feel like in a lot of scenes there could be some clarification about what is going on—some more detail, maybe. Some parts were just confusing, but I worked it out nonetheless.

Overall a good book. I think I'll continue the series.
