I really enjoyed reading this book! I was given a copy in exchange for an honest review.The blurb and cover drew me in and I have to say, the story didn't disappoint. I was expecting a dystopian future story, but actually this was a little bit of everything that I like: sci-fi, fantasy, romance, ancient secrets - it would make an awesome TV series.What I liked most about the book was Kayla, the protagonist, and her relationship with the supporting characters (Carl and Alec). The dialogues made me laugh out loud every now and then. She's witty, sarcastic, and she doesn't take nonsense from people who are trying to turn her world upside down. But she isn't pig-headed to the point where she won't listen to anyone, either.One minor complaint I had was that there was a little bit too much 'inner dialogue' where the reader is being told what Kayla's thinking or feeling. The competently-written dialogue is more than enough to make it obvious what she's going through! Other than that, kudos for the editing. I didn't spot any typos or awkward sentence structures. Let's hope this one gets a sequel! I'm curious to see what else Ms Waters can come up with :)
