Devoured this in a couple of days. Absolutely loved the universe the author has created and despite some of the elements being almost predictable (oblivious to the fact her bf is in love with her, falling for the bad boy, mysterious heritage unveiled) it never read like a cliche. It was gripping, exciting and the dialogue was brilliant with a very here/now feel to it and an authentic teenage voice (where there is...gasp... sarcasm and discussions about sex). Moving very swiftly on to book 2 now.
