This story wasn't what I expected when I read it's review, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a good read. The whole conflict was completely different from anything I'd ever read before and the suspense was killing me! What was all the deal about? Why did Lyla's family move so often? All this questions had me wrapped in the story. I guess I only enjoyed the plot and suspense, because the characters did not help me like the story any better. They seemed so fake, or at least the main characters did. They only talked about how much they loved each other or how worried they were, but they simply couldn't come alive in my mind, they reminded me of the dolls they put in shops to advertise clothing, they had no feelings. Puppets, yes they seemed just like puppets. The choice of words was also quite lacking and I really tried not to get bored while I read most things.
