Melissa Service grew up in a tiny, magical town in Illinois--total population: 800. In 2014, she brought her love of books, a Midwest hankering for a good Horseshoe Sandwich (also known as fat-on-a-plate) and Southern Sweet Tea to sunny SoCal. About an hour north of Los Angeles, she lives with her husband, her kids, and their sweet, yet, slightly neurotic, standard poodle, Eisley.
When she's not chasing Eisley, or chauffeuring her teens around town, she's writing.

Well, I had to read it twice, to know for sure that I got it right the first time... I am very under-whelmed at the writing quality...
For Me! It was a big disappointment, and a very tedious read. There was a circular plot going on with a lot of repeating and I wasn't sure if I was just imagining it, but by re-reading it I found out it was not me. I wish that whoever reads this book would message me and tell me what you found good about it? I thought I understood what it was supposed to be about, before I started my second read? But when I got to the end (again) I knew then that I will not be reading the rest of this trilogy. I wish you all the best of luck in untangling this book, because I so wanted to like even love it.
I think for me it was a severe lack if Word Economy. I do not know how she can get a trilogy out of this book. The #1 book was putting me to sleep! All of the Characters were of equal importance, the only characters that I connected with was the father Thomas Who wasn't really even in the book as a character and his daughter Ellyce. The only difference between the rest was, who was on the good or on the bad side? They all seem to have very confused memories or remember what they are supposed to be doing to solve the puzzle that will keep the world and its people from the Apocalypse from happening.
THIS BOOK JUST WAS NOT FOR ME!
