This is a tough one to rate. I didn't really like the story, but I still love her writing style. So I don't know which one I'm rating!!I didn't like the fact that (SPOILER ALERT) characters are killed off at such a fast rate, I didn't have any time to actually like them. The deaths didn't have any impact at all. Also... Harlow, Lazlow, Blue... even Tatum... REALLY??? Ugh. And the other thing that was just so... unrealistic, was the surgery scenes. The girl had multiple major abdominal surgeries with no anesthetic, no antibiotics, and even had to stitch herself up once, then like a few weeks later she's doing crunches. Mmm. I get that Remy is strong but that was too much to take to early.I'd give it 2 maybe 2.5 stars. Sadly this didn't work for me, but I'll still be reading her other stuff.
I really didn't like it at the end. One thing I want to mention though, whats with the names??? Remy, Boden, Serg (but okay thats Russian so its fine), Ripley, Nolita, Bishop, Teddy, Blue, Harlow and a bunch more that I don't remember because of the seemingly random choice of their names. I mean its not that much of a big deal because there were some normal names too, like Charlie, Daniels, Max, Stella; but still the uncommon ones (/invented?? I don't know maybe I've just never heard these names before) made it difficult to follow the story.
Enjoyable read.
