3.5 
 I like science fiction which means I liked this book even if it doesn't read like it, it's more like a paranormal romance a la Obsidian than real scifi. 
 Anyway, I liked the main characters, especially Ariane. Ariane was cold and logical, but at the same time very human. I liked her sense of justice and her need to defend the ones being abused. Zane was interesting, observant, caring, wanting to be a better person, I think. The only problem I had with both of them is that I never warm to them. I liked them, but didn't love them. 
 The plot was a bit more paranormal than scifi, focusing more in the romance than in the intrigue, but I really liked the twist at the end. It took me by surprise, which is something I appreciate very much in books. The rest was a bit cliche-ish. There is the mean girl, the unpopular girl and the popular guy, although there were also some twists I appreciated, like Rachel's feelings or the best friend's and Ariane's reactions to her. Thas was not typical. 
 In the end, the book was entertaining and although i did like it and want to read the next book in the series, it left me a bit indifferent, because i couldn't connect with the main characters, as much as I wanted. I hope that gets better in the next one. 
 Thank you to netGalley and Disney-Hyperion for providing me with a copy of this book
