** spoiler alert ** 
 Holy sh*t, I think I found one of the best books EVER!!!!!!!! I'm squealing, and hungry for MORE!!! It took me just two days to finish this and I now understand the pain of waiting. It's burning in me, waiting for me to quench it. 
 Oh my gooooodnessssssss. This book is toooo goood!!! Now that I realize it, I felt like it's been so long that I read something so AWEOME, CAPTIVATING and felt the hungry urge to read more. UNLIKE ANYTHING I've ever read before and the characters-are not bad-wish I knew more about the Darkling though. Their world was RICH, CREATIVE, and just DARKLY SATISFYING. 
 When I saw this book, I was hesitating to buy and read it. Luckily, I did and let me tell you: This has got to be one of my FAVORITE books!!!!! Anyway, It just didn't look and sound that interesting, but as I stepped into the world and their characters, I fell. Hard. And I was there till the end. So ENTICING. 
 The plot kept me in the book, with it's fast-paced read(well it was for me). 
 The characters the topic of INTERESTING. I could relate a lot to Alina. She has dark circles and I too bear the ugly feature, but that's all I'm going to say. I want learn more about Mal and the Darkling. I mean I'm not sure what to really think of them. Though you could say that I like the Darkling much more because he makes more appearances in the book and...I think I have an affinity for bad guys like him. Oh well, good guys are overrated anyway. What I sadly didn't expect was that he was going to lie to Alina. Caught me by surprise, but now I have second thoughts and I'm planning to confirm them on the second book!!!! 
 Throughout typing this review, I doing a good job of suppressing the feels, well not so much. It's quite obvious what the rating will be: 
 ~~~ 5 Shadowy Stars!~~~
