I feel like I hallucinated a lot of this book. 
 Halfway through the breakfast scene setting up the family before the twins go off to school in their uniforms, somehow working in a spiritual single mother, the skeptic sibling, and the horrific vision-having daughter, only to be followed by a supernatural encounter at school that day and a parent going missing, I really thought I had time warped back to YA Urban Fantasy from 2007. This is a new level of incompetent. I thought this era was over. I thought we were past things like this getting published. This MC has no interests! No friends! Nothing to round her out except true love! I know "Bella Swan" gets tossed around in comparisons a lot, but honestly... this is like a Blue Bloods novel. 
 I...I don't want to be mean to this book. I think this is why these "Romeo and Juliet, but in space, and also with elements of the Iliad" taglines keep losing me the minute I get to the book. Yes, that concept sounds awesome, but if we are just selling concepts at this point, the modern book market might as well be "Here's our concept. Let's American Idol this, whoever writes the best book about The third background fair in Midsummer Night's Dream but in a French boarding school told entirely though facebook messages, we'll publish." 
 That's not how it works. So I, as a consumer, need to stop getting caught up in taglines. 
 And this book is where that burn really set in. 
 I almost want to start a youtube series where I review YA books because I have so much to convey how much I loathed this book but can only communicated through shrieking and horrified facial expressions. 
 There is the kernel of a good concept in here. The setting is by far the most compelling character in the mess. The corn ranged from genuinely unsettling to the silliest thing ever ("Walk the corn together"? Are you fucking kidding me?) and the romance was that first time, true love, we fuck once and now our lives are ruined because of bound souls and betrayal bullshit I loathe. There was just...what was happening tonally. I could not keep track of what we were supposed to feel. Honestly, the corn cult, were they evil, brainwashed, just pawns, what?! The never-to-be-severed mental connection with the true love she spent a week knowing, who isn't even the same person anymore? God that ending was a disaster. 
 I learned my lesson. No more tagline love for me. I want the results.
