It has scenarios or rules that I've never seen before. It was an easy read and I read it in two days.
I really loved most characters and that's what made it an easy read. I love the character Charley.
My three star rating is because I didn't like how it ended. It could of easily been a 4 or 5 with a better ending. Books to me are suppose to end big or if not big than to go for wow factor or reveal something. I don't want to spoil anything but to me, there was nothing towards what the Author was building up to on the Island. Charley was making discoveries and figuring out clues about the Island. To have the book end, without even giving us something or anything about the Island is a let down.
(show spoiler)[I thought what Thad did was really stupid at the end. In some ways I get it, but Charley had plenty of time to get off that island. There was no guarantee he could of gotten another gate. I didn't like that the Author took Charley out of the book early, especially when she was getting closer to figuring out the island.
Another selfish move by Thad was he didn't communicate with Charley for 50 days. I understand that he landed in a bad part of the world, but he eventually got out of it. It would of taken him time to find a plane and buy tickets, so he had to of had some kind of internet connections. It sounds like they gave each other all there contact info, that he could of sent her an email, instead of letting her sit in pain for over 50 days.
I liked That throughout the book, but in the end, he made two selfish moves, that Charley has a right to be angry over.]
I noticed there was a second book out, but with different characters. I see it has a great rating, that I'm considering reading it. I sincerely hope the Author continues on what Charley was working towards in that book. If I find out that we get nothing, I'm going to be disappointed.
I won this on goodreads giveaway for an honest review.
