Meh

This book is the literary equivalent of blue balls. I realize it is a series and not all answers can be given in the first book but I have never felt so - unnecessarily - teased by a book. Question after question after question all while treating the protagonist like they should or already do know all the answers. This mixed with the incredibly meaningless and ping pong like dialogue made for a thoroughly unsatisfying read and even more so as audio. It didn't actually get interesting until the last few paragraphs. Which is all the more disappointing because the following books might - possibly, maybe - be good but no, I just can't.

Meh

Lots of twists and turns. However, I was so annoyed with the female lead character that I almost couldn’t finish the story. If you’re looking for a story about a girl who asks the wrong questions over and over again and trusts the wrong people, this is your book!

whole series to final ending.

good narration but you have to read the whole series to get true final satisfaction.

Weak

Wow, I made it to chapter 6 and still listening to the main character complain over and over about what, I’m not sure . We also get
To hear the main characters anger then anxiety then repeat over and over; this is a perfect example for a weak female character. No point or direction to this book. I would not waste any time on this book.

Great until....

It was really very good until the last few minutes when she was being forced to get a little to close to the jerk who's been controlling her mind. As soon as he told her she would wake up the next day and feel a desire towards him I turned it off!! I hate it when authors do that so, I won't be reading the rest of her books! I'm going to call and get my money back too.

Main character doesn't react appropriately

The concept behind this story is intriguing and toward the end, it got better. In fact I'll read the next in the series because of it, but the heroine in the story drove me crazy most of the book. A weak, whiny girl who is confused and fighting herself most of the story has a lot of bad things happen. She overreacts to most of it and underreacts to the rest. The narrator did a nice job performing the book.

coming of age tale with frightening twist

When a women just entering adulthood discovers a gift that seems like a curse in the middle of a world of secretes the challenges of coming of age becomes almost impossible. The story moves quickly and negatives would be too much action without building a back drop to carry so much going on at the same time. It is also a good mystery and all and all an enjoyable listen.

Good book but stopped without an ending

This book was good and well read. I knew it was getting ready to end but surprised the way it just stopped. I love a series and usually will complete the whole series back to back but the way this ended or should I say did not end left me frustrated!

unfinished ending

story drags,, hate an unfinished ending, even if another book follows. won't read another one

Mind captivating

I liked most of the characters. Jack is annoying. Seth is wishy washy. The narrator is solid. Charter development was okay. Left plenty storyline for book two.
