- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5S.K. McClafferty had a good plot with this story and writes great dialogue. However, I could not get lost in the book and I never got truly invested in any of the characters.This book did not seem to have a main character. When you ask the question "Whose story is this?", there is no particular answer. It was everyone's and anyone's story.Each character she introduced had a viewpoint, including very minor characters. She floated from one viewpoint character to another, often within the same scene. Consequently, I was never able to really get into any one character's head to follow the story. I like to know whose story it is, who has the most to win and/or lose. I like to feel their emotions. With this book, it was too much of everyone's emotions and not enough of any one person's. Deke, the person I considered to probably be the main character, had great potential but just didn't stand out on his own due to the constant barrage of other people's thoughts, emotions, wants, desires, history, etc.The "villain" at the end would have been a terrific twist. However, due to each character having a viewpoint, I figured out who it would be halfway through the book. This "villian" was a very minor character and did not require a viewpoint. Without that viewpoint, the twist at the end would have been much harder to figure out.
