Not good. Didnt read past page 84 soooo boring!!

A uniquely standout writing style is what differentiates this novelist from the rest. It not so much about the storyline but the style of writing that stands out.Basically this author can take any boring topic and everyday issues and give it sparks in the way she writes about it. I didnt like that the killers escaped ; too many innocent lives were lost so justice was not served. I wanted Tom to decline to leave with Daisy. The book had a feeling of dramatic performance in the primary storytelling method and s few macabre moments. Well written overall imaginative compelling intriguing but also a disappointing ending.

It was ok. Not as good ascthe first two. The format kept flipping back and forth between Elin and Kier so the thread felt broken up. I think better to have two chapters of each character before switching? Just felt a bit disjointed. Penn-Steed was not easy to like but the other characters were believable. The sense of suspense and mystery kept it going for me. Hope to see another novel from this author soon.

A fast paced thriller. Some of the comments online seem to indicate reader’s conceptions of set ideas about the way life is supposed to play out however I give credit to the writer for bending the rules and thinking outside the box. I think it made the book more interesting. At least the bad teacher gets a horrible death which feels deserved considering his deplorable behavior. I personally didn’t care too much for the twist at the end about JAY oy J lbecause I felt like there were already enough twists and turns throughout the book. Besides I liked the character Hudson and didn’t think he was the type to go for a woman like Eve…..but then again teenage hormones are unpredictable and this is fiction so anything is possible to write about. This author is extremely talented and if you’ve read her other books you will not be able to put them down. The storylines are simple enough but well developed situations that could happen to the average person. I like the way she develops the character Addie Severson, the writer seems to know teenagers well. The book was Engaging and hard to put down, something that stands out is the contrast between dark subject matter and the humour in vivid descriptions of high end footwear. If only shoes could talk!

I did not enjoy this novel. I found the storyline rather boring, and the plot just dragged on and on and I could not get a feel for any of the characters. I stopped reading it somewhere around chapter 50. Didn’t feel like finishing it eitherI’m going to try and read some of the other novels by this author. Maybe they are better and more interesting. Can Anyone recommend any other books by this author?

i Did not enjoy this novel I did not even finish it.It felt like it was meant for just teenagers crude language an uninteresting plot, I thought it was too childish for adult reading anyway I do not mean to be too critical as I am not a professional reviewer or anything, but Just comparing to other authors I’ve read like John Grisham, Riley, Seger SJ Watson Ruth wear, etc. this one didn’t measure up. Can anyone recommend other novels By this author that are significantly better reading material?

I agreed with some of the other reviewers about the book being twice as long as it needs to be. It should’ve ended at book 4. Well, it started out at a good pace building up to suspense and holding the readers interest by the time you get to book four the interest, and the pace is not as gripping as it was in the beginning . Good sci-fi, thriller, but due to the many timelines I found it hard to jump back in after putting the book down for a while. I struggled to finish reading the book after book 5 in the sequence .

I agree with many reviewers about the exciting pace especially the first half of the book. I was fascinated by the BOX and terrified of it at the same time. I was afraid it would disappear and leave our heroes in an evil world for all eternity. I thought that Daniella ‘s desirability was a bit overrated but she remained humble enuf to not become swollen headed by all the attention. Charlie was a champion and so was Amanda. I liked Amanda and how caring she was and hoped she found a world that suited her well. I don’t normally read sci-fi novels but this one was Enjoyable reading; the plot had a good balance of sci fi and reality. Id like to read more from this author.
