Actual rating 3.5 stars 
 While not the best Jamie McGuire novel I have read, I think this was a good, short sci-fi novel. It balanced the NA genre nicely with the supernatural elements, and I thought it was well written. As my rating reflects, I liked it, but overall, I wasn't totally in love with the story. I did find it a bit predictable, and as I said, it wasn't as great as previous Jamie McGuire novels. Rory was an okay lead, but I never fully connected with her and she did get on my nerves a bit. She was very wishy-washy, never fully committing to anything until the last second. I think if given more time, she could have been a great main character. And the "love interest" didn't really come into play that much. There is some hot and heavy romance, but not much, which to me means this barely qualifies as NA. The length of the novel both worked for and against the novel, because everything was rushed and the characters were never fully fleshed out. But, at the same time, I wouldn't have wanted the story to be longer because then the story would have dragged on and on. Nevertheless, knowing that this is a once-and-done novel, I think it's worth checking out if you like the sci-fi genre with NA romance thrown in the mix. Just don't go in expected anything amazing. 
 Happy reading :)
