This book is trash. (TW: Rape mention.) I was really disappointed by this. It had a great setting, a great storyline to start off with. The synopsis was pretty thrilling to start off with. Basically, there's a drug called "Death". It costs thousands to buy, and once you take it, you will experienc...
*deep sigh* Okay, I'm going to try to keep this short and sweet. If I go too far into my feelings on this book, this might end up as a novel instead of a review. As it stands, I think the majority of my thoughts can be summed up in one question. WHAT IN THE HELL DID I JUST READ? Pardon the out...

My name isn't exactly common and doesn't pop up in print often.[a:Melvin Burgess|56977|Melvin Burgess|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1206545905p2...
