Genre: Fantastic

Story: In the evening of an ordinary day, whilst he was about to fall into the river from the bridge he was trying to cross, he whispered to his ear by death. "An extended ice-cold hand will touch your whole life." Dependents and Hunters will come across this night for a girl who dreams of an ordinary life and was born into the night. It is a civil war in which black and white, night and day, good and bad lose their meaning. Mind dilemma. The struggle for life. A staggering vicious circle. A desolate town. A flawed heart. A lost soul trapped in the shadows, across the cliff. They will take everything they have first and you will feel it in a row. They will give a reason to hold on to life, "Don't!" You will want to scream. This story has no innocence. This is not a love story, but a hate story. It is a cold story that you will feel the fading of the night and you will need a hot coffee while reading.

My Opinion: It was one of the most beautiful books I've ever read, the language of the author's narration, the subject of the book is very nice, I recommend it to everyone.
