SPOILERS
After reading this book I can't help but feel as though I missed out on something that, conceivably, could have been great. The book builds this setting and life of this heroine that has the potential to be amazing, but the author fails quite a bit after that. I honestly felt lost during most of the book, because Davies never spent time elaborating on the main conflict in the book. What are these two men a part of? All I know by the end of the book is that there are 2...groups? One that acts as fate? And one that screws things up? If the author would have spent more time delving into the detail of that background, it could have made the whole novel better.
Also, there really isn't any relationship development between Asher and Skye, and Devin and Skye. She meets them, and they oh-so-perfectly happen to be new kids at her school. And then the author acts as if Skye's past relationship with her cheating boyfriend will come into play but that never really happens. And let's nt forget the whole jealous-Ian thing that was built up so much and then...nothing. We hear no more from Ian for a LONG time.
This book was enjoyable due to the fact that the whole romance issue was present, but other than that, it needed quite a large amount of editing.
