This is going to be an awkward one for me to reviews, as though I didn't love it, I didn't hate it either.

There are the bones of a really great story here, but at times the execution felt a bit clunky.

I liked our leading lady Sam, and could feel her disconnection from people around her, her class mates, her dorm mates.

And Aiden - well, I wanted to love him, but I felt more time than not frustrated with him. The way he kept pulling Sam in to push her away again, ugh!

I just didn't feel "it" with Sam and Aiden. More often than not I was telling Sam in my head to run run run as fast as you can. It felt quite a toxic relationship. But maybe that is just me.

That all being said, there was enough to keep me interested to the end. Maybe a bit more fleshing out the characters, particularly their pasts might help?

There was plenty of heat between the pair, but sometimes it just wasn't enough.
