I was immediately drawn to this book due to the very intriguing cover on it and after reading the synopsis and first chapters I was definitely interested in seeing where this story would be going. Unfortunately for me the story fell short and It just didn’t hold my interest throughout. In saying that I did enjoy the writing style immensely and the descriptions etc were really amazing This just wasn’t the story for me. I do think that others will enjoy it though so give it a go!
