3 stars (just about). 
 This book was a fairly enjoyable and quick read. There were some issues with the characters, grammar and punctuation, and with parts that didn't quite add up or make sense and sort of contradicted themselves, but I did like the storyline as a whole. 
 Braith was an interesting character, definitely very intense, and I haven't quite decided if I like him just yet. I appreciate the fact that he cares about Aria, and isn't pushy or forceful with her, but his mood swings are SO dramatic, like this whole book is just sort of overly hyped up and dramatised which made me roll my eyes instead of actually getting into the intense storyline. Like, he threatened to kill her best friend because he was jealous???? K. 
 I didn't really like Aria as a character. She is described as being brave and strong, an amazing hunter and very talented in self-survival and things like that, what with being the daughter of the leader of the rebels. However, she comes across as really weak. I think the author tries to portray that she's strong by continuing to say things along the lines of 'she refused to be weak and so puffed her chest out and set her jaw' but then follows that on with a bunch of sobbing and 'low moaning' and stuff. Idk. She also contradicts herself quite a lot, especially in her feelings for vampires and then for Braith, which was annoying. I don't dislike her because she's weak, it just annoys me that she is portrayed as being so strong, but in reality is the opposite. She also just feels really flat and unrealistic to me, and I can't relate to any of these characters whatsoever. 
 I did, however, really enjoy the plot itself and the way it was structured, but I just wish it had been executed in a better way. The plot twists were really intriguing and unexpected, and they would have been absolutely fantastic had they been paired with amazing, likeable characters and better descriptions.
