Clarke's writing keeps you gripped and not wanting to stop reading. I found myself constantly wanting to read this tale full of twists and turns.
Following the death of her sister Mia, whose body is found whilst she's away travelling, this tale looks at Katie's quest for the truth and delves into the complicated relationships of sisters and more.
Strong characters such as Katie, Finn, Mia and Noah are well described and clearly defined.
I loved the use of Mia's journal, the 'current day' storytelling and Katie's thoughts to provide an intertwined account of what happened and what is going on now.
Various locations and situations are mentioned in this book and I really felt I lost myself in all of them.
Strong topics are covered and covered well. Just when you think you've got it all worked out Clarke smacks in with another addition to the story.
As Katie experiences her journey of discovery you too as the reader join her and learn more - and are hungry to know more too.
The only reason I didn't read this book quicker is because I went away and didn't have any time to read. However last night on getting reacquainted with the ebook I found I couldn't put it down and had to read on until the very end.
Good points
Real page turner
Tackles darker topics
Lots of twists and turns
Strong description and serial
Interesting characters
Dark but not totally depressing!
Not so great
Some parts were a little gushy/soppy at times regarding the romantic side, but this is really me trying to look for faults listing this
Overall I'd really recommend this book as one to keep you gripped and provide some escapism.
