For the most part I liked this book. It sucked me in from the beginning and kept me interested throughout the whole thing. Eliza was likable despite being hyper emotional but it made sense with the tone of the story. This first book is more about how Eliza thinks and feels as things develop and unfold in her life. You watch as she goes from being the weak sick girl to a stronger more confident Creature. It even had a few moments that made me laugh despite some of the dramatic things going on.What I didn't like was the lack of answers. The book opens up more and more mysteries and gives you very little details on the meat of things. Also the romantic development seemed sudden and short lived. I didn't believe there was an attraction between Eliza and Luke and didn't really see how they suddenly had an interest in each other. I wish some of the beginning and non-emotional scenes were more detailed or clearly worded. Some parts came off a little confusing and hard to picture what the author was trying to express. I wish there were less details on how emotional and beat up Eliza was (since I felt like I understood fully that she was in a bad emotional state)and gave more details into relationships between Eliza and other characters or even opening more scenes that gave clues to some of the mysteries. Overall I believe if you love this genre you will love this book BUT just know you will have to wait till the 2nd book to get full satisfaction in the story (hopefully).
