 I have mixed feelings about this book and the positives were mainly to do with the plot. I find the apocolypse very fascinating and this book just developed it even more and had a wicked mythology. I loved all the cards stuff and Evie's crazy visions and how everyting started to make sense at the end. I thought the plot was developed perfectly, I loved its pacing and the writing style. It was orignal and very enjoyable. Evie was a cool character too and I when she finally started to embrace who she was, she was totally badass. Even though she goes through a hard time in this book, i thought she was pretty strong and brave and handled most things well. 
 One of the main reasons i didnt love this book as much as i might have otherwise is that Jackson was a terrible love interest. If the hero in a book is good and I fall in love with him, then I can fogive a lot of flaws in a book because i enjoy it just for that character. Sadly, I didnt like Jackson at all. He starts Evie's school at the beginning of the book and they dont get off on the right foot. He's rude, barbaric, presumptious, arrogant and a total pervert. He pulls a lot of shit with Evie like stealing her diary, but when she confronts him, he starts acting like he's a victim and that she's not treating him nicely cuz she's a snobby brat, not becuase he;s been a total douchbag to her. He does have a sad back story but I'm sick of that being used as an excuse in books for guys to be assholes. 
 I didnt feel at any point in the book that he actually loved Evie, I got the impression that he cared about her, but mostly just wanted to sleep with her and when she refused, he slept with someone else. At one point in the book, he also tells her that he only wanted her for sex cuz she was the only available girl. WTF? What kind of guy says that? He pissed me off a lot and just when I thought that maybe he wasnt all bad and had some redeeming qualities that I could like, he would go and do something to really make me hate him all over again. And even though I liked Evie, at times I hated her too for putting up with Jackson's shit. 
 However, the other characters were pretty cool. Eventhough Selena was a total bitch, she added some good drama to the story. Finn was hilarious and Matthew was very mysterious and I loved him. This book does have some issues, but I did like it and am looking forward to the sequel.
