Review:
This book was a pretty solid read. I really enjoy the writing style, and the supernatural elements.

I was expecting a little bit more of the paranormal bit though, and wished it wasn't all saved for the ending. I kept waiting for it to appear in the different story lines, and when it did, it was small and a little underwhelming sometimes. I also had a hard time connecting to some of the characters, but really enjoyed reading about the main one, Holly.

The story was good, but long. Sometimes you read books that have a lot of pages, but somehow it doesn't feel long, but this one did. The parts I loved the most was the beginning and the end. The middle was a little meh. I also thought the climax was extremely interesting, but it felt a little short for such a long build-up.

Overall, quite enjoyable. I would recommend this to people who enjoy science fiction.
