** spoiler alert ** 
 If you trust my reviews at all you won't read this book!! It was painful to get through. The writing is plodding and annoying, the characters are one dimensional, and I don't think the author has ever had an original thought if you go by this plot. It's Hunger Games meets Pokemon and it's executed horribly. I had ONE moment through the whole book where I was genuinely surprised, but that whole two pages did not make this book worth the read. Stay away!
