That was quite interesting a strong female character who does not instantly know everything and kick arse, actually frequently she is still and idiot who trusts to easily. She was a great mix of fierce and still just a scared normal human.
Some of the plot was to easy to guess like who the bad guy was and hated the cliffhanger ending.
I enjoyed enough to read the next one.
Good narration.
What to rate? Oh what to rate! I am so torn. I really liked it, even though I wasn't a huge fan of Gwen. I like gritty, what would you do, scary situations. I like to think, "would I do that?" She made some questionable decisions in my book, but I get it.

I know I sound like I didn't enjoy it, but I really did. You should read it. I'm going to land on 3.5 stars, but not sure if I'm rounding up or down yet.
