I can’t believe I did not write a review on this book.
This has become one of my all time favorite books. I was intrigued from page one, and could not stop reading until it was finished. This book grabs you by the seat of your pants, and takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride.

I started this book before Christmas, but then I put it down and didn't have time to read it. I picked up back up this week and started over and I couldn't put it down. I really liked this book and it really left me wanted more. I can't wait for the second book to come out.

This book was very interesting. Kind of reminded me of teen gladiators with a twisted love story. Ending really made me mad and wanting more. Guess thats what the authur wanted, next book comes out in September. Will read, most defiantly.

Okay, so everyone was right. This really is a great book. It's fast moving and suspenseful, and the plot just keeps moving and the tension keeps rising and in the midst of it all is a great romance and believable characters and a believable world. (Even if it is creepy.) This book is on the Young Adult shelves but it's one that's crossed over and is worth reading. My only complaint: it obviously leaves you hanging for book 2. I hate that!

I wasn't going to read this book because of the premise. But, for book group it was chosen. I read it in 24 hours and it was a page turner. As I read I sadly realized that it could happen. It was very much like Rome and the gladiator tournaments and coliseum "entertainment". (But, I digress.) I thought that it was a well thought out and clever book. I was not offended and am excited for the next book in August.

This was a great book. It grabs you attention from the beginning, and keeps you turning the pages. I loved it, and I definitly recommend it to my friends.

This book sucked me in from the very first page...
I mentioned this in another post about the book, but I thought the writing was really tight, and Collins has created a world that feels very real and fleshed out. She has that special "Stephenie-Meyer-knack" of breathing life into her characters and making them feel as if they really exist. ...more

Loved this book and can't wait for the sequel. I just finished the book and have already pushed it on my brother. It's definitely something I will recommend to everyone.
