OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
 Okay first off I want to clap for the author! This book was just---agh! Amazing!!!!!! I wanted to cry when I reached ending. 
 SPOILERS BELOW: 
 Recently it's been hard for me to find a book that draws me in. Richelle Mead never fails to write a book that is just fantastic and this was no exception. I loved this book just as much as I loved her other books. The only sad part is that the ending is just so gut wrenchingly depressing that I just want the next book out already. 
 Okay Why do I love this book?? 
 1. At a certain extent I can understand Sydney. I understand what's she's going through with her sister (I have a younger sister like that who's always thinking that she can do better than me at things even though I'm four years her senior). I understand how hard it is to be the responsible one. I get how hard it is to try to keep everything together and I realized the moment she and Adrian had sex that things were going to start slipping. She wasn't going to be able to keep everything a secret. All her juggling was going to fall. I knew this and I still got mad when I heard she was kidnapped. I hated all of that! I loved the book up until the end when she was captured. Bleh. 
 2. I usual hate two-point of views in a novel. It usually throws me off. That's because a lot of authors tend to blend the views so that you can't really tell who you're reading about. Also because I tend to favor one character's life over the other, which means that I hate reading from both views all the time. Sometimes I just want one person. That's not the case for this novel. I loved both Adrian's and Sydney's views. It was nice to get into the head of Adrian because he was different. I imagined some jerkish guy with a creepy mind. Let's face it, a lot of young adult novels always make the hot guy seem creepy. It's a fact. Even when we're reading their perspectives, they're cocky and annoying. Bleh. Adrian was different. I understood his struggles just as much as I understood Sydney's struggles. They were real. I understood his fears and issues and I loved him for that. 
 3. The relationship was just beautiful. It wasn't overdone like so many other books. It wasn't just about some girl wasting away for some guy. Sydney doesn't waste away for anyone. She's still the same person, but with more now. Her and Adrian have faults, but they work through it. She doesn't cause a big seen when he does something wrong. She expresses true care for him. I don't think I've came across anything like that in any YA novel I've read so far. This couple was beautiful and great. 
 4. Gosh it was just amazing. 
 So there you have it. I loved the book. Richelle Mead--good job on destroying my heart. I'll be waiting in line for the next book to come out.
