i think the start of the book is too slow. a lot of the chapters are fillers. and this in turn led to the revelations and plot twists to be very unexpected, and not much emotions are spent on those plot twists/revelations (in the later parts). but the book is really interesting, and it has a good cliffhanger to make you want to read the second book! 

and jacks definitely did not betray her imo. he just has this strong desire to do what he wants without caring abt other people, but soon he started caring a lot abt evangeline during the execution of his plan. im sure he is attracted to her and will continue to do so. evngeline is just hurt that she was used by him initially when he couldnt care less about her. 

it’s quite a good book to stir your brain engines and the plot twists are pretty great too!
