I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy from the publishers when I won the GoodReads giveaway. I wasn't able to get around to it right away and only read it after its release, which I'm sure defeats the purpose of getting an ARC. But when I started reading it, it was all I could think about. I wanted work to be over with quickly so that I could run home and open up this book. This book is a joyride into cults, brainwashing, and murder. I highly recommend this book.

I liked this book; I didn't love this book. Once upon a time, when I was in middle/high school, when I was really into YA, I would've loved this book. Now, I don't know...it just seems juvenile to me. This book is very imaginative, though; I loved the creativity behind it and the weaving of actual myth with Roux's imagination. And even though I only liked this book, and not loved this book, I still have a mind or two to continue on with the series.
