I just couldn’t get into it. The writing stile wasn’t the problem for me it just seems this genre isn’t for me. I had a very hard time getting into it. I really thought when I read the synopsis that I was going to just eat this book up and devour it in a couple days. But alas it took me much longer than that and I almost didn’t finish. Really probably should have to be honest, this book just really wasn’t for me.
