I loved this book for so many reasons. First, and probably most important, it was very well written. The character development and world building were excellent. The story is unique and draws you in from the very beginning. And the characters...well, the characters were fantastic! 
 I think I loved Ember because she was so real. She reacted to all the mysterious things going on around her just as I might have. At first, with the "if I don't think about it, admit it or talk about it, it might go away" method of dealing with strangeness and then with the "I'm going to get to the bottom of this and kick some butt" method. She was strong, sassy and smart...a great combination! Torin was a true hero. The sweet, protective hero we all love. When he came into her in her dreams I was captivated and so was she...at least for a time! Because, in came Eli. All brash and sexy and mysterious and moody and hot. And Torin may have been pushed to the back burner. I have no doubt we'll see more of him and he'll try his hardest to change our minds. It'll be a tough road for him though because Eli already has me, ummm, I mean Ember, wrapped around his sexy little finger. 
 This story built up slowly to the final reveal of the mystery surrounding both Ember and Eli. I can't wait to see what the author has in store for us next. I'm sure it will be a non-stop adventure and I'm hoping for some sizzling romance too! :)
