Okay I have a pretty good idea what this book was trying to be, but sadly it just couldn't pull it off completely.I give it 3 stars because of the potential this one has. And it did cause me to need to know how this one ends. Therefore I couldn't put it down. But the whole time I was wanting not only more of Adam's POV, but an in depth look into him period. Which I did not get.The book starts off with how Adam comes to be. Then we hear Adam's voice, his thoughts, & see his actions. Which are beyond frightening & dark. Then it shifts to our heroine, Ellory But she takes up majority of the book with her POV. Which was too much, too long, and way less interesting. Unfortunately this continues till the end. You get snippets here & there of Adam but not nearly as much. So you get a huge shift in the story but it's very unbalanced. So much so that you often wonder "Ok, why am I reading so much about this girl's teenage angst, when I really need to be reading about Adam?"And then of course this books ends with a HUGE & very confusing cliffhanger. It was so abrupt & jumbled, that it leaves you with the impression that the author just decided to stop writing.This one wanted to come across as dark, sinister, & twisted but sadly it loses that mark once you're introduced to the heroine. And it never gets back on it's path.Hopefully things will be more balanced, clear & take on the tone it was trying to take here, in book 2.But I strongly advise if you pick this book up, make sure you have book 2 as well. But be advised, book 2's release has continuously been pushed back for the past year. I'm not certain if it has finally been released though.
