This book is beyond incredible. I was on the edge of my seat and the turn of every single page. Between the grit and torment between Atlas and Stella to the murderous hands of the Omegas I was pushing the pages as quickly as I could absorb the words. I can tell you there are some intense scenes between Atlas and Stella as well as the “family” we encounter along the way.
Atlas and Stella’s characters were brilliantly written. I felt intertwined into their story. I felt both of their pain and nightmares. I felt as if I was an outsider looking in on the events as they unfolded; it was like a movie was playing in my head. Being this consumed with a story is everything that a reader craves from an author. When we find ourselves engulfed by a story that is so incredibly crafted, we only want more. Having said that PLEASE Alyne I need to know what else happens. You know there are two characters at the end that I was intrigued to find as back at “home.” I know you know who I am referring to!
Thank you Alyne for the ARC. I am a new reader to you work and now that I was gifted this amazing book you are on my radar big time! Absolutely fantastic … Review to post to Ramblings From Beneath The Sheets.
