Opinion
I've been a fan of Lisa Mcmann since I read Wake & Fade and when I saw this particular book at the bookstore I just knew that I had to get my hands on it and like the two other book before mention Mcmann does a great job with this story. I found the story very mysterious, somewhat dark but it keeps you coming for more and more. The author throws at you a lot of twist and turns which I think that the story work so well for me. Also why I totally liked from Lisa is that she doesn't try to sugar coated the characters, for me she is one of the few authors who knows how to describe teenagers in a very realistic way and she's not afraid of using strong language to prove her point without over doing it and she also manages to make you feel for this characters.
I really liked Kendall with her OCD and all, even though this was something that really made her days rough she was manage to always keep herself calmed at least in the exterior. Jacian (and Latin which make him win many more point with me) was cool too a bit jerk yes but in the end he end ups warming up to Kendall and when he does the dynamic between this two turns out to be very good.
I do have to complain that when the author finally put everything together it leaves you wanting more about those who went missing and the mystery surrounding the disappearance yes you get an explanation but it felt a bit vague, I wish more could have been explained.
But if you are fan of Mrs. Mcmann this book is totally for you and well if you like a mystery and ghosts story this book is for you as well!
