OK, so first things first. It took me such a long time to finish this book! When I started it still had its old cover - the new one is an absolute bomb!

This story ended strange. It was good. Kept me turning the pages long into the night. Reminded me of the "Gone" series by Michael Grant. On to book #2.

It's strong and gripping. Eden is one of the few leading characters out there with foibles and flaws. She is realistic. She makes mistakes; there are consequences.
