Compelling read
Well first off I'd like to say that this book is one of the best I've ever read and I could go on for hours about this because it really is thrilling! It starts off as such an innocent story of a school trying to protect the young ladies from the plague that was once present, but then one of the overachieving graduating students discovers the real truth behind all the locked doors and high walls surrounding the school. It seems like she is only dreaming but then it spirals into one big escape. I can imagine every scene in my mind due to the incredible work of Anna Carey with such deep detail into all aspects of the characters and situations that really just pulls you in right from the start and I couldn't put the book down. The on going struggle and he more Eve encounters, brings a sense of mystery and suspense. There is also a mixture of romance and humour just to keep it exciting and it really has a dangerous but realistic approach. Although the story has some devastating outcomes and almost leaves you in tears, it just makes you want to be in the moment and has an emotional effect on you that you don't get from to many other books these days. There's are all different characters that give off different vibes throughout the story that keep your mind my open up to all things and people around Eve and they can contribute to what she does and how she does it. I also have to admit that at first I expected it to be your cliche story of a girl finding out some dramatic secret and then was setting out to solve the mystery but the end really shocked me and that shocked feeling surrounded me when the story progressed. So all in all this book is a great read for anyone who needs a bit of excitement and emotion in their read.
