Mel is a young woman from a society called the Masks, a group of people who are hypersensitive to their surroundings and the feelings and motivations of those around them. Masks are to be neutral, unfeeling and dispassionate, it is what makes them the arbitrators of their world. Mel is different, she feels, she hopes, and eventually, she loves.

The premise of this story was very good. The twists and turns that commenced during the listening held my attention throughout the entirety of the book. There was a lot of information given, and many subplots happening along with the main storyline. This was a book that I had to pay attention to or I would lose my way. There were a few plot holes that I hope are rectified in the next book in the series.

The narrator did a great job and I enjoyed listening to her voice cadence.

I provided this review in exchange for a complimentary copy of the audiobook from the author, narrator, or publisher.
