I have to say, when I started reading this book I was not sure If I was really going to like it. I had already read THE HUNGER GAMES and really enjoyed that book. This book was said to be better than THE HUNGER GAMES. Big shoes to fill for sure.

So the question is, did it live up to the hype?

YES IT DID!

for me anyway. Now let me say I don't take anything away from The Hunger Games because that was a really good book. No doubt. But I did like this one more and here is why.

Mainly it was because of the characters I loved reading about the main character in this book Saba. I loved her relationship with Jack and it was just so much more fun to read. So enjoyable to read about how her feelings for him changed. Also, the story in general had soooo many twist and turns, highs and lows. It really did hold me on every page. This book maybe made into a movie and I can't wait to see if it does and go see it.

The second book will be out in October so I already know a Birthday gift I will be wanting.

I just finished this book and I must say, it was better than I thought it would be. I really did not know what it was about. I got a recommendation from a website.

The story turned out to be one that I was not expecting, kind of a science fiction, love story. It was well written and just the right pace to keep me reading. The characters where interesting the main character, Addy was very believable and at times funny. I enjoy that about her.

Well worth a sequel that I hope with be coming soon.
