Review:
The beginning of this book was fantastic. The created storyline was mysterious and compelling and immediately grabbed my attention. But as the story progressed and the secrets were revealed I began to like the story less and less. I know a lot of people have loved this book but I found the story a bit to far fetched and unbelievable. I actually thought the story became a bit ridiculous as it drew to its conclusion. Having said that though it wasn't a bad read and I would like to continue the series, although I can't say I'll rush out to buy it. The photographs intertwined with the story was a great addition to the story as it enhanced it by giving you a clear image to the characters, as well as more insight to the main character Jacob as you were discovering things as he did.
Recommended Audience:
Fans of paranormal fiction, or young adult enthusiasts.
