Nayuleska's thoughts
Given my poor memory it was surprising how much I remembered of the first
book. I felt at home with Rory: it was easy to relate to her jumbled feelings.
I wanted to shout out when she was being brain washed, to make her see through the
lies. The plot twists were rather epic! I'm hoping book 3 won't take too long
to come out.
