Review: I liked the love story, I did not like the world-building

I thought this book was alright as a love story of a woman and man who would normally have never met or come together. Except for the circumstances in this book. What confuses me though, is exactly what were the circumstances of the book? I still don't know, is this a futuristic world, is it a cult, is it set within modern society with cell phones that can record pretty much anything and therefore makes such a society close to impossible to exist? Hmmm, I think in focusing on the relationship between Aaron and Maddy, I think the author forgot that often we readers need some contextual world-building in order to understand really how incredible a story can be. I think this was missing from this book. So I give it 3 stars and although it was sweet with some gruesome parts (think Hannibal Lecter doing his thing), I am not sure I will be reading the next book about Xander.
