I didn't form a connection with the characters and I just felt like I knew how it was going to end before it got there. There were times that I was freakin' out with Robie - especially with the sharks and being in the water.

Everything about this book is beautiful. Books like Shatter Me are why I love to read. I can not wait for the second book - and this one isn't even out yet.

There is so much put into the different aspects of the Archive and the world surrounding it - the Narrows, the Outers, the Librarians, the Keepers, the Crew, the keys. And so many rules that go along with each aspect.

It's interesting the way she accomplishes this. She alternates the narrator by chapters. So one chapter you are in Echo's head and the next is Noah's. This could have been distracting if not written well but I feel like it enhanced the story!

Initially I was intrigued as it reminded me of the Bruce Willis movie Surrogates which I enjoyed, but this book was even better

When we first were asked to review this particular book, I was excited for a new take on Snow White, but really didn't know what to expect.

Just like with the Prophecy of the Sisters series, some people absolutely loved it. I did not. So if this book sounds appealing to you, give it a shot.
