I wish I could shake the X-Men vibes and stop comparing Juliet to Rogue. ( ) This book moves fast. It is action packed with a heavy side of romance. I enjoy the way the story is told through Juliette perspective. The thoughts she is thinking before or after her Dialog crossed through so you know they are thoughts. That was a great way to streamline her fast thinking without a lot of extra explanation sentences attached. The story starts and just keeps you on going. I couldn't put this down once I started it. Juliette is so broken yet lovable. Adam, well who wouldn't love a guy like Adam (I really want them to get some time alone). Kenji added some great comic relief. Warner is a great twisted sadistic bad guy. It was full of tender, heart wrenching and wow moments. You got a sense of the world they were in but it didn't seem forced down your throat. You learned about the new world as Juliette did after being locked away for three years. The things she remembers the new things that have changed. This was a great opening book in a trilogy. I had heard of this book for so long. I wanted to read it, but kept putting it off for other books. That was a big mistake. I can honestly say that this is one of my favorite books. If I could only keep five books, this would be one of them. This trilogy is just incredible. I highly, highly recommend it. The writing is beautiful. The wording, poetic. I love the characters. I love the idea of this story. Warner is the perfect villain. Adam the perfect guy to root for. Juliette the witty and intriguing girl that doesn't want to be a monster. It's crazy that after everything people put her through, she managed to stay a good person. There are no words to describe how much I loved this book. I can't wait to continue this trilogy. If you have not read this yet, you are seriously missing out. no reviews | add a review
