I see a lot of 3-5 star reviews for this book...and I'm confused. Did we all read the same book, here? 
 This was awful. Shockingly bad. I hate to abandon any book so I forced myself to finish it. I'm surprised my eyes didn't bleed out of my skull. 
 Everything felt ridiculously contrived and a lot of the supposed angst was just laughable. I love a depressing or 'angsty' read, but the image of a teenage girl wandering around a graveyard and spouting really bad poetry made me chuckle. And not in a good way. 
 The author's habit of making her say incredibly annoying things to get across how alone she feels just made me even more irritated. 
 The whole book is very bad, but here are some quotes from the first chapter: 
 My gaze travels upward to a statuesque carving of a hooded figure. Its head is tucked down and in its hand is a scythe. 
 "The Grim Reaper, huh?" I rise to my feet, stretching out my long legs, and tilt my head up. "I bet you know what it's like, don't you? To be surrounded by death all the time? I bet you understand me." 
 A black raven swoops down from one of the trees and circles in front of me. 
 "Why are you always following me?" I whisper to the raven. "Is it because you know what I am--a symbol of death like you?" 
 I really would not recommend this to anyone. Sorry. It's just not my cup of tea.
