I don't honestly know how I feel about this book. I think there was a lot of potential but it really just fell short for me. I found it terribly complicated and confusing, much more so than was necessary. I felt like more should have been explained or elaborated on. I liked the creepy factor and the sacrafices and the different lives but it was just too all over the place. From the very beginning i felt as though i landed in the middle of the book, and i kept reading bc i was hoping things would become clearer, but they never really did. I also don't really see this as a young adult novel which, according to my library district, its labeled as. I think it was just labeled that way because the author has done YA novels in the past. I am also very glad this was not picked as one of this year's Battle of the Books for my library.
