Wow. I am speechless, shocked and filled with joy at the same time. It was a fantastic book that was wonderfully written and has great characters. I have so many questions, especially with the open end. There are no words to describe this book. Just fantastic.

Incredible. There were so many twists and turns that I never once suspected. Found family, first love, curse, supernatural, ghost, class and privilege discussion, and many secrets.

Gives me Lost Boy vibes. I have mixed feelings on this book. It was one where I felt reluctant to pick it up, but enjoyed my time listening to it. At the same time, nothing really happens and there are a lot of unanswered questions (which I am sure are touched on in the next books). I just enjoyed it, but didn't love it.
