Thank you to NetGalley, Hachette Children's Group and Hodder Children's Books for the advanced copy to read & review. 

This was good, really good in fact, it just lacked that little bit extra to make it brilliant and be a 5 star read.

I really enjoyed how the book flowed through the characters, giving us the story but through a variety of eyes instead of just one narrator. It also meant I felt more of an attachment to them, as I wasn't just hearing about them second or third hand.

And the writing was good, it was really easy to read and follow the story through despite the changing of characters to narrate. 

But the plot is where I felt a tiny bit let down, it was a great idea and I loved the premise I just wish the author had delved a bit more into The Speaker and Aaron and the backstory there. Especially since there were parts that didn't feel like they concluded and left me confused and wanting more.

That being said, I really enjoyed the way this book gave me chills and put me on edge and it was definitely a worthwhile read!
