This novella is not a quick read. I found myself bored and it was hard to stay focused on the story. A major problem for me was while this book is the beginning of its own series it must be linked to her other books, so right from the start I felt left out. There had been prior drama, action, and relationships established that was not rehashed in this book. I felt like I flipped a book to the middle and started reading. Another issue I had wit the book was the switching of the narrator in each chapter. It's only a novella, there wasn't a need or enough of a story for the back and forth between the three leads. I wish it had been told solely from the point of view of Gia. Since she has amnesia she is just as new and clueless to this world as a new reader. I probably wouldn't have felt as lost or left out if I had been reading her trying to not only piece together the mystery of the story but of her life as well. The writing wasn't captivating but it was decent, still won't be continuing on with this series.
