The plot has potential, let’s start with that. I could see where we were going, but certain things just sit right with me. It’s like I was expecting more and then got less. You have to read the book to believe what I’m saying.

So we meet Aria who sleepwalker but it’s not a sleepwalker and she fights darkness in a realm not meant for human; this darkness is what influences humans to be evil. She has the scars to prove it, and no one believes her, including her family. A step too far, and she finds herself back in a mental institution.

And then we meet Pax who is a nol to Aria. He is her protector, and they fight together to vanquish the darkness. This man really wants to protect her in the sense that he is willing to travel and break all the rules just to be with her.

I was very excited to read the book, but the FMC is childish. She was irritating and for someone who is the chosen one she really didn’t get it. At some point, I hoped the MMC would leave her behind and just let her die. This man is trying to save your life and you still keep looking backward. I understand that she’d love for whatever she love for, but it was too much. I almost DNFd alas we kept at it There are plot holes that I want answers for and didn’t get.

The book has a cliffhanger wow.
Book 2 probably answer the questions that we have, but I will not be reading book 2.
