I won an ARC copy from the author. The author did not pay me for a review and all the thoughts here are my own honest opinion. 
 So I am going to first start with the positive side of the book (aka my favorite parts and why I gave it 5 stars) 
 The Writing: 
 The writing is what I see in a book, because writing is words and words are a book. But words are also more than that. Words is what allows me to see the beautiful pictures the author intends for anyone to see in a book. (Did that just make sense?) 
 When reading Sara Ella's I felt I was watching a movie, (or as if I was reading a diary written by the character Eliyana as though it really happened). 
 The author describes things wonderfully without distracting me too much from the story. Also with the book being written in first person adds a lot to the story as well, making the main character feel closer. 
 The Characters: 
 Eliyana has a birthmark covering half her face and is very self-confidence about it. However the author doesn't make she seem weak because of it, and towards the end you really get to see her growth and strengths. 
 There are about two other main characters and because I don't want to give anything away: "I love one of the characters and disliked the other, never mine I love the other character and dislike the other. Oh and there is a love triangle! I love those!" 
 Anyway I love the characters. They had problems that could be related to, and some even had superpowers! 
 The Plot: 
 So as I said Eliyana has this birthmark covering half her face. In one reflection it is her blemished. In another reflection it could be her strength. 
 The main character lives in New York where everyone makes fun of her or just can't look at her because of her birthmark. The story begins telling us her mom is dead. And even though we don't know much about her mom I really felt the character's pain in this part of the book. 
 Later Eliyana finds herself in another world where everyone that sees her mark believes she is someone special and can help them fight the bad guy. 
 The story is on self worth and how your blemish could be more than a blemish. 
 Things I Disliked: 
 I love this book a lot! But there was a few things I had a problem with. 
 1. In the world building of the book, I was confused for a long time. But so was the main character. Everything was happening at once. But towards the middle I felt things slowed down a little and explained why these things were going on. 
 2. There was a few times where there was some content I didn't like (because there was shapeshifters there was mentions of them being naked only for a minute). However the author never went into too much detailed but just mentioned it. 
 3. I wasn't sure about the Soulless for awhile. Mostly because the characters that were "Soulless" sounded as though they were forced to become, well, "Soulless". I believe that an enemy can't take our souls unless we gave them up and that we can't be forced too. Towards the end though I was more okay with it. 
 Who Would I Recommend It Too? 
 Anyone who likes books about self-worth, Urban fantasy, and dystopian (maybe anyone that like stories about superpowers?). 
 I cannot want for the next book in this great series!
