The dialogue really left something to be desired.
This book had a very strong start with interesting characters and a unique premise. It lost a bit of its luster about 3/4 of the way through, when the plot seems secondary to (in my opinion) overbearing possessiveness. The very end portion of action, which should have been similar to a final boss battle in a video game, was the easiest of all the trials and was resolved within a page or so.
The ending didn’t quite sit right with me either, there’s protectiveness and there’s creepiness.
