I would give this book 3.5 stars on story telling. I was deeply engrossed in the story. This is a very deep read. Some dark moments. It's not what you would call a love story, Although Lanny confides her love for Jonathan numberous times throughout the book. The is talk of love, but you do not get your traditional love story.
This is truly a different type of read.
I wanted to keep reading just to find out what happened. Ms. Katsu knows how to keep you interested!

The story jumps from past to present, as Lanny tells the story of her past while her and Luke travel (escape).
