It's been twenty three days since Quinn has slept for more than minutes at a time. Demons have invaded her dreams, stalking her, and whispering of her death. The lack of sleep and crippling fear are ruining her life. Energy drinks and caffeine pills don't make a dent. 
 When Quinn dozes off in the school hallway, Aaron, an amnesiac with a psychic ability, accidentally enters her nightmare. The demons are determined to keep them apart, and Aaron from discovering the secret locked away in his memory. Together, they could banish the darkness back to the underworld for good. That is, unless the demons kill them first. 
 When I first saw the cover for Pretty Dark Nothing I was intrigued. It's really a gorgeous cover. After reading the description I was led to believe this was going to be much darker than it ended up being. The idea of not having slept for 23 days is completely fascinating. It's the main reason why I was interested in reading this book. The other thing that hooked me was the addition of Demons. I had hoped that they would end up being terrifying. Unfortunately, they were just as shallow as the characters. 
 I find nothing more frustrating than when a book description doesn't accurately describe the book. In this case, Pretty Dark Nothing was more about a girl pining after her (view spoiler)[cheating (hide spoiler)] boyfriend. Now if I know this in advance, I'm usually okay with this kind of read. I can prepare myself for the teenage antics. Since I was unaware of the drama, it really killed the plot for me. 
 To be honest, I almost DNF this book, which I don't do. This book really dragged. It was so slow that on the kindle, nothing significant happened until after 50% of the novel was finished. Until that point, it was all about the fashion, the makeup and the boys. There was more description about what the characters were wearing than the demons. There was no depth or character development at all. 
 The lack or world building or explanation of the demons was truly frustrating. They speak to Quinn but the how or why was never explained. Pretty Dark Nothing is told from two point of views, but since one is from another boy who is after Quinn's affections I find it completely irrelevant. The inevitable love triangle ensued. At the point, I very nearly stopped reading. 
 This book was really confusing at times. There were just too many plot holes that didn't line up. To make matters worse, it ends with a cliffhanger. With a misleading description and characters that I loathed, Pretty Dark Nothing ends up being more 'nothing' than 'dark'. This ended up being a much more shallow read that I had anticipated. By the end, I just didn't care and I won't be interested in continuing this series.
