Mission of the Heart Book

I won this book on Goodreads First-reads. I only started reading this book a few days ago but I got totally hooked. The plot was not one I had experienced before and I felt that the characters had depth. I could tell something fishy was going on in the camp, though I admit I did suspect Ursula aswell as the Proffesor. When the kalamono attacked and everyone ended up dying soon after except Ursula and Rylan, I couldn't quite believe it. I knew there was more than half the book still to read and couldn't figure out what was going to happen next. What did happen next surprised me very much, the taking of the pills raised my suspicions that something was going on and also the note left for Rylan, I was quite surprised that he just went along with the whole thing rather than being angry at Ursula for putting his life in so much danger and changing it forever. Towards the end I thought I could forsee what was going to happen, that the organisation would fall and everyone would be happy, but the ending didn't really give everything away. I still don't know why the adult kalamano basically committed suicide, though it was quite moving. I thought that it ended on quite a cliff-hanger which really annoyed me, especially as the book doens't say anything about a sequal.

Overall I rated this book 4 stars, marked down because I would've liked more indepth plot and for the book to be longer with a conclusive ending. Apart from that, I loved it and would recommend it to anyone who like mysteries.
