A mirage.
A dream.

Why did I decide to turn the pages? I liked the title. That was what drew me in.
My Overall Thoughts/Impressions: This Book was an enjoyable one that I'm glad I read. While it lacked that extra depth to be an excellent read, it was still a fun read.
I went in with high expectations (unusual since I hadn't heard of the author or the series before, but I did). That might also contribute to why the book didn't quite reach a 4 star rating.
However, having said that, I enjoyed the novel. It was well written. The plot was fairly fast paced, and the writing was good. I've read books that were better than this one before, but it stood out from the crowd.
An enjoyable read recommended for fans of new adult.
So why 3 stars? Just didn't quite stand out enough to be a 4.
Can I read the series out of order? Yes, I did.
