What I liked :The imagination of this book is amazing I loved how one minute it was one story and then the next it was something else and I just fell into a story I wasn't expecting . It made me sit up and take notice as I was reading along .There were also no dull parts in this book I didn't feel bored at any point I just kept reading and gasping and laughing out loud . The author paced out this story in a very well thought out way .This story was narrated from each of the main character's of this book so it was nice to listen to their points of view and have each character give voice to what they thought . There is action and adventure in this book and there's also romance this book has it all in a good way that's not over packed .


What I didn't like : THE CLIFFHANGER !!!! I was very frustrated with the cliff hangers because I hate them I actually screamed at the end and almost threw my phone but then I  remembered I  need my phone so I had to settle for releasing a stream of expletives .However I understood why the author left it where she did if she would have continued on this book would have needed a part two and would have been way too dang long this book is already a whopping 698 pages which may not seem like a lot but when it comes to eBook's the length of this book is longer than most others I have read in the eBook realm. so even though I was angry about that cliff hanger (boo, hiss) I  had to tip my bonnet and say well played author ,well played .
