Review
When I started this I didn't think I was gonna like it very much. I thought the beginning was kinda slow and it confused me. Idk what I was thinking. This book is absolutely amazing in every way possible. I love how one of the biggest parts of this is family. All Day thinks about is what he can do to take care of his family. This was a little gruesome at times but I honestly think that's just a part of the storyline. There in basically a war zone. Of course it's gonna be a little gruesome.


Day is like the god of all criminals. The relationship between June and Day was absolutely adorable. I love how they think about each other none stop and wonder why she turned me in or he killed my brother. June is like this awesome ninja spy. Tess is like the big sister who nurses everyone's wounds. I hated Thomas with a passion. When he kissed June I couldn't stop saying ew.


Overall the storyline was unique and exciting. I've never read a book quite like this. If you haven't read this I suggest you do. This will forever be one of my favorites.
5/5 Stars
