Review: Interesting Idea But Missed The Mark
Rating: 2 out of 5

The initial character introduction had me believing this was a chick/lit book but it was made interesting with the addition of the para element.Unfortunately the author doesn't really give us all that much background on either the main character or the world in which she chooses not to live in, and I did feel like some of those details should have been made clearer.Especially considering that in the blurb the elders are mentioned but apart from a brief encounter with her father, none of the elders and the mystery surrounding Lily's mark feature.Because of that, I found the story rather disjointed and lacking flow which made it a bumpy read that I struggled to stay focused on.A nice idea with some interesting elements but I just didnt connect with the characters enough to really care about them.2 Stars :|
