Review: I loved this book - I loved this book. I thought it was totally engaging from page one to the very end, cryptic enough to keep me reading long after my bedtime. It's one of those stories that you keep you asking, "What the heck is going on here?" while still being understandable. I was captivated by the twists and turns in the plot and found the two main characters sympathetic and interesting. I enjoyed learning more about them as the story progressed and seeing them develop. Is it all realistic? Probably not, but it is fiction after all, and thoroughly entertaining. It's not so far-fetched that I can't use some imagination to enjoy the creative plot-line. I cannot wait for book two... the cliff-hanger at the end is killing me!
Review: EDGE OF YOUR SEAT STORY! - From the moment I started reading this book, I was hooked. Maybe it was the story, or the writing itself, but I loved it. This totally could have been a one-day read had my schedule allowed the time. Instead, it took me two days. There are several things that irked me about this book. First of all, I put the clues together pretty quickly, and knew the general idea of what was going to happen. I WAS COMPLETELY WRONG ABOUT THE ENDING, but I saw the generalization of what was bad idea, who to trust, who to not trust, and who was the Outlier before anyone in the book wised up and thought about their predicament or put the pieces together. Second, I found Wylie to be a completely unbelievable character, and not in a good way. She has not left the house in weeks due to anxiety, but suddenly her friend is in danger and it's like a 180 on her will to be a normal person. Maybe more like a 150, because she still has anxiety, but she uses it to her advantage to further them along in their quest to find Cassie. But she still cannot see she is being tricked? It reminds me of the Pretty Little Liars series (which I did read most of and found them entertaining) in which I want to keep screaming, "JUST TELL YOUR PARENTS ALREADY! OR THE POLICE! OR ANYONE!". On the positive side, all the twists and turns were amazing. I'm always baffled at how authors can flip a switch and everything you thought you knew is wrong! It's really hard to write much here without giving away spoilers, so I'm just going to say that the story is great, the characters worked well with the plot (despite my feelings about Wylie), and it's a very intriguing story to figure out who everyone is and what in the world is really going on. The books ends on a cliffhanger, which sets us up for a second book. I hope it isn't too long of a wait

### ⭐⭐⭐ Greedy bastage pissed me off. Not bad but not great either.
*by L***N on October 2, 2017*

The first book didn't have much of a plot to it. It is what I call a "set up" book. It leads into the plot line for following books, doesn't have much to it. You don't really get attached to the characters in this first book. It makes me feel like this writer is one of those who's trying to get as much money from their readers as possible. Instead of offering a full story in one book, lets hack that book into parts and make the reader pay as much as I can for it. I find it annoying. Give your readers a full book. Then offer as many books to follow it as you like. But at least make them feel like they got their money's worth. This series is original, I'll give 'em that. It's not really scary so I wouldn't classify it as horror. It's kind of modern science fiction. It's a nice read. A little slow in places. But doesn't get interesting until book three. Probably the point. Make you buy three books until you get hooked on it, wondering where the story is going to next. I like it enough I'll finish reading the series, but I don't think I'd recommend it to a friend as an 'amazing' read. But just something to do on a rainy day when you want to chill, relax, and want a book you can put down, walk away from, pick up again later.
