Reading this book is like entering the Twilight Zone while sleepwalking. Uhm, I know. Weird right? Like wtf because that doesn't even make sense. Which I think is my first reaction after finishing the 400+-page book. I was like, what just happened with the story and more importantly - what have I just read? 
 I thought the blurb was promising enough and it's gonna be a YA-thriller more inclined with The Maze Runner route but the whole thing was just mysterious. Mysteriously odd that is. 
 Seventeen-year-old Anouk was invited to France along with other kids to help excavate a vast, underground palace buried a hundred feet below the suburbs of Paris. Only, the people behind the project are keeping secrets from them and the things that unravel may just change the things Anouk thought she knew about herself. 
 The beginning was actually quite promising because of its fast-paced narrative via Anouk but the moment they went underground, everything just went berserk. I mean that literally regarding the story and its characters. It's like, what's the point of all these running around the underground palace? I mean, I understand what the brothers are trying to do but say, the whole thing went through - then what? 
 I just didn't enjoy it because I don't see the point of the bad guys if ever they succeeded. Not for me. Not this one. Sorry.
