I received this book through First Reads. I was expecting it to be better based on the high reviews. I am surprised it has so many good reviews, because I did not think it was particularly good. I thought the language it is written in is a bit juvenile. For a example use of words like yep, nope, vacay, prezzie, nah. I really expect a lot better from a bestselling author. This was one of my biggest pet peeves. 
 I did not think the main characters were very interesting or relatable. The main hero McKell has a major flaw that I could not forgive therefore I could not like him. 
 (view spoiler)[This is what I am talking about. McKell has ability to stop time and freeze people. So he would freeze the person he wanted to fight and then attack them. Basically he would attack a helpless person who cannot respond and defend himself. I could not except it, even if the person in question was bad and deserved beating. It just goes against my expectation for an admirable hero. (hide spoiler)] 
 There is just too much sex in the book. I do not mind reading sex scenes, but I do mind a lot when the sex scenes override the plot of the story. In this book it was just too much sex and not enough plot. 
 The ending of the books was little bit rushed. I felt like there was a part missing. I really wanted to know more about McKell father's world and what happened when McKell was there. 
 Overall I was not impressed by this book. It wasn't that bad, but it wasn't good either.
