You become a blubbering mess, the reason I almost never peel an onion. I simply hate it.
The six is like that. You peel away all the layers, it burns, your throat contacts in nauseating horror, and you become scared. All your senses on high alert as you continue to read. Where the author got the idea from, I have no idea. Did she do the story justice - a resounding yes.
Each layer adds to the depth of the plot. Each point of view - and there are four of them - gives you a clear picture of the story. Each layer a part of the bigger picture. If you remove one, the story will fail.
It takes a while to get into the plotline, at least 20 chapters in before it all makes sense. But once you passed it, you cannot stop: obsessed with the conclusion. Who is this sect, what is the real reason behind the prism of six? Who are the culprits?
Each character adds to the story, giving you more relatable information. At times you like them, at times you don't. The character that touched me the most was Constance's character. Her life a mirror of so many other women. In the beginning, she was this neurotic addict with too much money and too much jelly in her veins; she discusses you. Once confronted with reality and all are stripped she changes into a superwoman who won't stop... no spoiler alert here... really get the book...smile.
Gray's character was also impressive. This young man became a man in such a short time that you cannot help but admire him.
Kara is the other young lady who really touches the heartstrings. Her ability to change a profound turn around as you get to know her.
Overall, a disturbing story of a secret society that brings out the very heart of every person involved in a terrifying way. The island a place of self-discovery and turmoil as horrors unfold and deaths accumulate. In a nutshell - While secrets unravel, love conquers.
If you are looking for a challenging read - this is it. (
