I enjoyed both Sydney's and Theo's POVs. It took a bit too long for the plot to really "get going", IMO, and I considered DNF'ing. However, the moments of sudden tension were effective, and the final 20% of the book was very fun! It was like Alyssa Cole snapped her fingers and went "alright, it's the last stretch, let's pull out all the craziness". I just wish the story had better pacing overall so that the finale didn't feel so rushed.
