Did the cover tempt you and/or reflect the contents of the book: I usually hate it when there are models on the cover and you can see their faces, but I actually liked this cover. I imagined the characters to look pretty much the way they were pictured on the cover.
Recommend: Yes
Convince to read book: It is kind of dark, but it has an excellent plot, very well written characters, and lots of unexpected twists and turns.
Compelling Aspect of the Book: The characters were written in just a way that you thought you knew them and could predict their behavior, but then they do something that catches you unawares. The choices that they make are so intriguing that you have to know why they are doing what they are doing.
Did you finish: Yes
Were you disappointed with the book at all: I was not at all disappointed with this book. I was actually surprised. This was probably the best co-written book I have ever read.
