This book is getting a new release by Cemetary Dance and I received an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. 
This story is short and was an easy read. I liked the idea of the story being told and it is interesting. However, I feel like the characters don't really develop or grow in anyway. Plus, the first part of the book feels like that should have been the shorter part and then more time should have been sent on the second part. The second part of the book felt rushed. I think the second part should have been more flushed out and not written as though the author was trying to wrap everything up quickly.
