I have to say that I'm a bit torn in rating this book. It took me a good 50 pages before I finally got pulled into the story, and even then it was not as captivating as it could have been. I do want to like this novel, but there are several issues for me. First, I got hung up on a short, inconsequential sentence that left me doubting the author's writing... "Inside the bathroom she peed and splashed her face". I would rather my protagonist not splash her face with her urine. I know that's not what the author meant, but that is how it reads... Second, I find that the main character, Max, is not developed enough for me to connect with her like I usually do with main characters. I also find that some of the scenes are not as well written as the author meant them to be. I can see where she wanted to go with them, but they would have benefited from more details and better flow. I would have rated 2.5 stars if the system let me. This book had me wanting to read it, but it was too action packed for me personally. I thought Max was a little too withdrawn, and Alexander didn't have much of a personality. I read the whole book so I was intrigued, but not enough to give this book a stellar rating. With that said, I can see how people loved how action packed it was if that's your thing. I just wasn't crazy about that part of the book. I wanted more story. It made it impossible to really get to know the characters in my opinion. I'm debating wether I will read the next one. If I do, It might surprise me and be fantastic we shall see.
What do You think about Alliance Nocturne (2013)?
Good read. Looking forward to seeing the main character get more control.

More like 3.5 stars not a bad start to a series.
