MY REVIEW
I was given this book for free for a read and review.
I really enjoyed the concept of this book and found it quite interesting that they used such high technology to erase memories of people that the families left on earth. I really connected with the main character and I love how love has a way of breaking down barriers even when the memories have been erased - Ari still remembered Zane.
One thing that bothered me about the book is that Ari hated Cal for the first what 5 chapters in the book and then in the next one she is practically jumping into bed with him. I just don't feel like you would change your feelings for someone overnight.
Other than that I really enjoyed it, by the second chapter I was completely hooked and couldn't put it down. I am very thankful that Siobhan sent me the second one in the trilogy so that I can continue with Ari and her adventure.
My heart broke for her at the ending!
The book was written beautifully and, even though, there are over 400 pages it went back extremely fast. Siobhan has a way of hooking you in so that you have to continue reading to know the ending, her character are very easy to connect with and fall in love with. By the end, I wasn't sure which guy I was rooting for.
I can't wait to continue!
Thank you again Sioban Davis!
