World-building was good, it takes place in modern day and age with the exception that a small amount of people have powers. All scenes and environments were well written and clear.
Character development was good. Jesse is, I wouldn't say broken, but very afraid of letting people get close to her since she's afraid to end up like Rachel, in a mental hospital, when her lot of death replacements are over and her brain can't take the damage anymore. It really doesn't help when she starts seeing an angel, who (of course) only she can see and talk to.
While some reviewers mentioned that the love triangle bothered them, it didn't for me. It is part of who Jesse is, of her choices in life and her fears. While she doesn't always make the "right" decision, it still fits her profile.
The support cast were good, Ally and even Lane were worked out sufficiently and felt real. Brinkley felt like the glue that kept it all together and kept the story moving forward.
Pacing and flow were decent. There is a good amount of conversation, and well... since this is the first book of the series that is to be expected, though the balance is pretty even between all the talking and action.
As I've said earlier on, halfway through the book there was a lull in the story, it crawled forward and at the time of reading I felt impatient for the story to continue. Things picked up not long after though and it was smooth sailing till the end :)
The book in itself is well written, some little errors here and there, but nothing that bothered me.
There is sex in this book, though not described (if that is important to you).
All in all it was a nice surprise! It was more than I have thought it would be, so yeah, I will be reading the next in the series :)… (más)
