Artificial Absolutes

Devin is one of the most interesting characters that I have read in recent memory. He appears to be living the good life as the son of rich and well-connected parents, plus he is about to marry the most famous singer in the galaxy. However, from the beginning there are hints he has a darker past. At first it sounds like he got into the standard teenage rebellion but then it went way beyond anything he could handle. You will be reading to the end to find out just what really happened with him then and how it could have been a way to haunt him but instead he uses it to his advantage. I appreciate that his reveals and our discoveries about him were well-paced throughout the story.

Jane was a little slower to get going for me though there was a lot to establish with her. Yet when I expected a decision she made to turn into a damsel in distress situation later, thankfully that didn't happen.

There are lots of twists and turns throughout but they feel natural and it does keep you engaged, plus no character feels unnecessary here. Of course, with what has been revealed, there is a lot of places where it can go for the next book.
