 I have really mixed feelings about this book since I did enjoy it but it also didn't live up to all I thought it would be. 
 Overall I thought the premise and the concept for the ViSEs were absolutely fantastic, I mean how can something like "Vicarious Sensory Experiences" not be awesome? Although I really wish there had been a bit more of these and more action like there was at the beginning and the end of the book. The mystery of Winter's sister was interesting but I still wish it hadn't overtaken so much of the plot and left more room for some real action. I definitely did not see those twists coming though! 
 Winter was a decent heroine she was very strong but also broken, however, considering what she went through when she is younger it's definitely understandable. I really liked how developed and fleshed out her character was. As for the secondary characters, I did like Jesse but overall they were all pretty forgettable. 
 I did enjoy this book and I'm kind of curious to see where the sequel goes but I just wasn't as blown away with this one as I thought I'd be.
