I got this book from the author, free of cost, in exchange of an honest review from my side.
Firstly I would like to thank the author and the tour organizers for giving me this opportunity of reading and reviewing this book.
Well, to be honest this was a 50-50 experience for me. I liked the read and it would be a lie if I say that I loved it. There were significant holes in the plot which really dimmed by excitement.
Coming to the good points I would definitely appreciate the author's imaginative thinking and the story line that was portrayed here is excellent but yet I'm feeling very sad to confess that the author didn't utilize the full potential of the concept and the story line.
Do you the what was the most negative element of this story? Well, sadly it is the heroine of the story herself. I mean come on even after knowing that the guy whom she loves has another girl in his life and he wants to have a relationship with her too at the same time how can a girl agree to such a thing? Is she that desperate? This was really shocking for me and new too. Oh, and the hero, God!!! How you can play with both the girls in his life? I mean if anyone come and ask him to have a relationship with her will he agree to that? Well, that's so not my type of Hero.
Okay, enough of bad comments. The good thing is that I loved the twists and turns. They were really unpredictable for me and the last part of the story is really good and it made the book worth the time I spent on reading it. Oh, I forgot to mention, I liked the side characters very much. They had their fair share of time in this story and the author didn't neglect them at all.
Well, as you can see I have mixed opinion about this so I wouldn't recommend it aloud like I always do but I wouldn't ask you guys not to pick it up. Maybe I'm not a Young Adult anymore so I couldn't get into the complicated love life of the characters but maybe some of you can. So go ahead and try it out!!!

Teasers:
“Your
courage is in your tears. Every time you cry, you lose a little bit more of it.
That’s why you’re so breakable. Not because you’re human, because you’re always
shedding courage from your eyes."
“Each
encounter you have with evil leaves its scar. And some are more painful than
others.”
“Marcus,
this is Emerson Baxter. She’s gonna help us save the world.” I looked at her
quickly, then went back to the Muse. She was too short. Her hair was a tangled
mess. Her T-shirt had a cartoon pig on it and was ugly and ill-fitted. I wanted
her. I wanted to touch her.
“You
don’t have to work so hard to let me know that you are hurting. I know, Em. I
know."
“I want
you to know that just because you love someone doesn't mean they are worthy of
being loved.”
