review 1: I liked the beginning, the description of the society, the absurd bullying of the cursed (really, people?).And I liked the feeling of helplessness. (demons are such a scary, creepy a-holles = =")But if there was supposed to be some kind of romance? i did not feel it.Not from lying guy, and not from Z-guy..it just felt very forced. like it just HAD to be there, but i really did not feel it :I .
review 2: Wow. The violence, pain and darkness were at a whole other level than I was expecting. And I really enjoyed that. It was like having Jigsaw there with us (especially when poor Luke had to pick which instrument to be tormented with - I had no idea a potato peeler could do so many gory things) and the tension was definitely there making us wonder when the demon w... moreould reappear and what awful things it would do next. I didn't want to dwell on the way the demon possessions were random and could basically happen again at any time because then I'd start overthinking things, like all the exorcist movies I've seen and how a lot were based on real situations, and then I'd be nervously eye-balling people and expecting something like that to happen right in front of me and would I be prepared, and that's never good. So yep, I'd say the world-building with the cursed, infected and healers definitely held my interest. There was a lot of emotional pain in this one as well. Luke's torment was heartbreaking and you just wanted to protect him from all of it and let him have a little happiness for a change. But the hits just kept on coming so he really needed someone like Zack in his life. Tom? Not so much. I'm just sorry the book ended so soon. I really hope there will be a sequel because it sounds like the demons aren't done with humanity and we really need to see more of Luke and Zack. :) less
