From the blurb, it sounded like an intriguing supernatural YA book, and I enjoy the supernatural genre quite a lot. This book starts out as really interesting, and there are so many parts of it that really drew me in...but then it kept on piling on more storylines. Then, the storylines and characters got stranger and stranger. It kind of veered into true scifi, which was fine IF it made sense, but unfortunately to me it did not. The sexual stuff was most definitely not necessary and really turned me off the book totally. The writer is clearly very smart and well-spoken, it just seems like too many things were crammed into one book here. In the end, it was totally and utterly confusing and odd. A shame because the story had great potential.
