Written review
This book was interesting. I really didn't think that I would like this book, but I surprisingly enjoyed it. Now this book is by no means the best Colleen Hoover book, but I can say I don't think it's the worst either. I want to read all of Colleen's books, so I of course had to read this one.
I have heard a few people say it was predictable, I can say I read the back of the book and I guessed what was going to happen. It was a little bit like Verity, but like the Walmart version.
I have never read a supernatural romance..... it was a little weird to wrap my head around. I thought that the concept about the romance was odd to say the least and I kinda felt a little uncomfortable. This is kinda random but I couldn't stand Layla's sister and her boyfriend.
This book wasn't at all scary. I was interesting and I wanted to know how it ended but I didn't really feel the thriller aspect of it. I also thought the ending was a little rushed. I felt like Colleen didn't know how to end this book, so she left it on a cliffhanger then added a useless epilogue that didn't do anything for me.
I love how I started the review saying I liked the book than this whole thing has been me talking about everything I didn't like. I thought the book was super interesting. It had me hooked and wanting more till the end. Colleen hasn't failed me yet!

It is with a heavy heart that I give 3 stars (and not the usual 5 starts) to one of Colleen's books.
I had so many expectations for this book. Supernatural is one of my favorite genres and I had high hopes for the combination of two things that I love: books written by Colleen Hoover and dark and twisted themes. I was expecting something like Verity, but this book did not delivered that.
I had a really hard time to relate to the characters, none of them was likeable... the entire scenario was really weird. The entire story sounded like an episode from Ghost Whisperer (and not a particularly good one).
If the book did not made me cry, is not a Colleen novel!
P.S.: Obviously, I will still support Colleen, keep buying every single book and keep "hating her" for making me cry every single time...

WTH did I just read?
Don't get me wrong: I still enjoyed reading it. It's not my favorite CoHo book. It's not because it's different from her other books (I loved Verity) - it's because there's no character growth. I hate Leeds!! It did make me more interested in the different realms. I just don't get why this book was written.
Still, it's a CoHo book. I'll read anything she writes.
