***May contain spoilers***The first thing I noticed about this book was that it was a mere sixty or so pages long. As such, I felt similarly to how I did prior to reading Jools Sinclair's book "44" (which was only around 79 pages or so), that due to the length of the book the plot would be rushed, that there would be lack of character development and so forth, however, as I began reading the book those worries soon dissipated as the fantastically developed characters and plot emerged.Samantha was such a dynamic and realistic character that the reader could really relate to. She was (almost) always an extremely selfless individual, protecting those around her (especially her loved ones) was her top priority. Terry was a quite a surprising character to me, so much surrounding him I wouldn't have guessed in a million years (ie. his reaction to finding out a character had died and so forth). The character that I am hands down the most intrigued by is Shane (Errrr... Kinda Shane)- I really want to know what his back story is!My only real complaint about this book was the lack of romance (but then I remember that when your life as you know it is seriously blowing up before your eyes, romance is most likely the last thing on your mind). There were a few times here and there in the book when it seemed like things between two of the characters may have headed in that direction, only to take a sharp turn in the opposite direction.All in all this is a great book for fans of Jana Oliver's "The Demon Trapper's Daughter" and Lili St. Crow's "Strange Angels" series! The fast pace of the book will have you on the edge of your seat the entire time while reading it, making it a quick read and making you hunger for a sequel!
