The Plot. The idea for this book seemed really unique and interesting. This definitely wasn’t the normal paranormal story. It was an interesting direction that the author seemed to head toward and for the most part she pulled it off. 

There were several parts that seemed a little weird in the way they were written. Allie didn’t seem really close with her parents and was in good conscious able to tell them a major lie. Yet the author doesn’t really explain this in any detail and Allie seems to really care about them. Also, there were several scenes in the book that didn’t really seem to fit. It was like they were in the middle of an important part in the plot, and all of a sudden the scene changed and so did the direction of the story. These little inconsistencies made this book a weird read. 

Allie. For the most part, Allie was a character that fit well with the book. She didn’t seem to have a lot of emotions or they weren’t really apart of the book and added nothing to the story. I also didn’t like how the author seemed to flip flop in Allie’s actions. Atone point I thought that she was on her uncle’s team, and then in the next chapter she was commenting on how much she hated him. Reading the book from her point of view made the book challenging to understand.

Other Characters. Allie’s parents and Uncle were an interesting addition to the story. In the beginning, it seems like her uncle really cares for her and her safety, and then all of a sudden he’s consorting with the “bad” guys. He also seemed to not really know his own mind and was willing to lie his way through any situation. I am still confused on what type of character he is. 

Allie’s parents really got on my nerves because when Allie interacted with them she seemed to not really care for them. They seemed really loud and obnoxious throughout the book. It was also weird how Allie was in another state and their was no check-ins with her to see if she was safe, but when she got home they did the “concerned parent” act. Allie seemed to hate them when she was with them and miss them when she was away from them. It was a weird relationship dynamic and It still confuses me.

The End. I did like the cliff-hanger at the end of the book but I felt that it really dropped off in a irregular place. It was a nice closing to this book and it will be interesting to see where the author will take it in the next book.
