Narrator did a good job. She fit the characters well and the performance was clear. Solid quality performance. I’d recommend listening.
The story was entertaining and I liked the characters. The way Cara’s friend Riley is described; as drawing on her eyebrows, gave me a weird picture in my head, but she’s actually an awesome friend. They are both too gullible though; especially for girls that grew up mostly in the foster system. Cara grew up very poor with a bad mother; she was placed in the foster system for years before living with her uncle for awhile. She’s 18 now, her uncle is moving without her, so she needs to find a new place quick. An out of this world “job” opportunity is offered to her and her friend; if it’s too good to be true and all that. These girls needed to use their brains more; it was red flag city when they were in the “job” interview. Turns out there’s some weird stuff going on. The romance is sweet; there’s a good connection between Cara and Theo. They have a rather quick connection with some good passion. There’s some interesting ideas to the story, but this book felt a little basic. There’s not a lot of exciting things happening; this book may be mostly a setup book for the rest of the series, but I would’ve liked a bit more of a grander story. I do want to know what happens in the rest of this series though, so that’s a plus. Overall, there was enough interesting elements to keep me entertained and wanting more.
