4.5 stars.


I've been looking at this book for about a year or so and after reading and loving it, I felt more inclined to buy this, so when I saw it was on offer at Amazon for 79p yesterday I bought it straight away.

And I was NOT disappointed!

I think it's fair to say that I am a fan of Kody Keplinger.

I started this a few hours ago and more or less devoured it. I really liked it! I just got really into it, I liked the characters; I fell hard for Wesley! I liked the plot, I liked how supportive her friends were because in a lot of books they can be two-faced b*tches.

I'm looking forward to reading more of the author's books.

And in seeing the film!

P.S. I've think I've got my reading mojo back :D

I am, once again, in the minority here because I just didn't get into this at all.

I was confused about the timeline, who was who, what was what and I spent most of my time with a frown on my face and scratching my head wondering what the heck was going on.

I think I just lost the plot completely but there are loads of others who have read this and given it 5 stars so it must be me!!

If you enjoy something of a challenge and dark, gothic stories, this is probably for you but not so much for me unfortunately.

Thank you to Serpent's Tail, Viper Books and Profile Books via NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book in return for an unbiased and unedited review and I'm sorry I didn't enjoy it as much as I would have liked.
