There is just WAY too much going on with this book. In the beginning, I was totally on board with the "creature in the woods" story and would have enjoyed the book just fine if that was all that it covered. But apparently throwing in superpowers, a "Men in Black" society that is also incredible misogynistic, and dimension hopping apparently were necessary. Really you probably could have cut this book down by 100 or 200 pages if a lot of these elements were cut and I think it would have made for a more tense and engaging story. At the halfway mark I couldn't wait to be done with this book, just so I could just move on. I didn't really fall in love with any of the characters, if anything maybe Zoey was the closest character I liked, but even then there were things about her that kept me from really relating to her, especially with her asexuality just poofing away at the end so that she could try at a "normal" relationship with her boyfriend. Just such a missed opportunity.
