My Review:

Our sins are stubborn,

our repentance faint,

Thinking base tears can cleanse 

our every taint.

Daily we take one further step toward Hell,

And, when we breathe,

the unseen stream of death.

It is because our torpid souls are scared.

There is one viler and more wicked spawn,

which never makes great gestures

or loud cries

[Flowers of Evil - Charles Baudelaire]

Aduh, sepertinya kalau aku ngomong ini lagi kalian akan bosan... tapi yah, emang sekarang keadaannya begini. Menulis review untuk buku yang aku suka banget itu susah. SUSAH SEKALI. Kenapa? Karena aku takut bakal nulis terlalu banyak lalu tanpa sadar menebarkan spoiler di mana-mana.

Genre: fantasi, romance, dystopia

Sinopsis:

Thirty years in the future, a sinister New York City exists in permanent darkness. 

A student at the secured NYU, nineteen-year-old Nadine has visions of Victor Gianni, an imaginary guy she has real feelings for. Afraid of being truly insane, she explains the visions away as simple daydreams, but she can no longer deny them when she bumps into Victor in real life. But this Victor doesn’t know her, and turns her away. After the encounter, Nadine’s visions change to those of eerie fates, gods she’s never heard of, demons with sharp claws they are not too timid to use … and instructions.

To discover if she’s losing her mind, Nadine follows the vague directions—with the real, rude and reluctant Victor—leading to a man who knows it all: Nadine can restore an ancient creed by unveiling the clues on her visions, and bring sunlight and peace to the world again. But that’s only if the demons and the other evil forces behind the darkness don’t stop her first.
