Review: Almost, but not quite
Rating: 3 out of 5

I'm not exactly sure of how I feel about this book. It's not bad at all, but also lacked to be as captivating as it intended to be. The characters are very... normal (Jeremy actually bothered me a little), as human as any character can be, but regardless of how much power and potential Rachel may or may not have, I still didn't feel as much empathy for her as I wished I did. It was good that she wasn't some sort of invincible super heroin, like what happened in Sarah Maas' Assassins series, but on the other hand, other than her paranormal powers, Rachel was approaching Twilight series' Bella Swan level (but less annoying). I find it demotivating to follow up through a book with character so... bland and insipid to some extend.It would be unfair to state that the book sucks, though. In spite of the endless parts in which people keep chatting while there is chaos all around, some of the secondary characters are actually kinda interesting. David, for an instance, is so hateful that his blind devotion actually makes him a good character.Anyway, this is an interesting kind of book to read in one sitting. It didn't hook me up, but it wasn't a complete waste of time.
