4.0

This book was so twisted, dark, and weird. But at the same time, it was very good. The writing was beautiful, even lyrical at times. I loved how the land seemed to be a main character in this book- it just integrated itself into a prominent role of the story.
Gemma got on my nerves sometimes. I understand her need to escape, but I feel like she should've thought it through first... I disliked how weak she was sometimes, but it's understandable in her scenario. Ty was a twisted man. I fail to see how he can work up so much emotion for Gemma just by stalking her, yet the writing made the story believable. Also, it feels slightly pedophilic because this guy is almost ten years older than her, and while he never pushes her to do anything that she doesn't want to, he loves her undoubtedly.
I feel like the ending is abrupt. It left me searching for so much more (what happens with Gemma, and what happens to Ty, namely). I understand that that's not what the book is about, but even a short epilogue would leave me feeling more satisfied.
This book is not for everyone, but I enjoyed it.
