I was not expecting this book to be so good!!! I kept hearing about it and of course the whole Aaron Warner part is kind of predictable, but it was technically spoiled to me beforehand. It's a tad slow at the beginning which made me almost want to stop reading it, but once it picks up, it's moving. This book starts off with our main character who has been isolated for an unknown reason and all we know is that she has a literal lethal touch. As the story progresses we come to find out why and along the way there's romance. This book brought me back to my teenage years reading stories like the hunger games and divergent. I do worry how the series will progress since there's so many books, but I'll for sure be continuing it as of now.
