It was a unique story with a very dark side to it, but I couldn't connect with any of the characters and found the romance unbelievable. There are some gruesome moments that I really liked, making it a good read if you like horror, but not too much horror. It's told from Natalie's perspective, a mute, which is cool because I haven't come across a character like that before. 
 If anything, it's a very fast read, although that also made everything feel a bit rushed. I found my mind drifting off at some points because nothing really grabbed my attention. The author really tried and I give her points for creating a story unlike anything I've read so far, but the book as a whole didn't do anything for me and I don't see myself reading the next one.
