You can't have an entire trilogy centered around a girl with mystical powers who is prophecied to save the world, and then end it by having her go back in time and rewrite history so the whole trilogy never happened. OUT. GET OUT.

Wow, didn't see the ending twist coming!
Really amazing trilogy, really mesmerizing story!

Jones is the only author I know who has characters who deeply and passionately love each other as friends and as family. In YA novels there's always romantic love but you just don't see the love of best friends. At least not very often.

I absolutely love everything Darynda Jones writes. She has an awesome balance between humor and action. That being said, I will say I was a little surprised at the ending. I won't go into details because I hate when people give spoilers, but I was caught off guard. Still trying to decide if that's a good or bad thing. :)

I loved this book and the fact that it was very age appropriate. So often with YA book I think WOW no way I would let my kid read this! That was not the case with this book. I applaud the author for that.

Loved this teen paranormal series. I started with her adult version of this premise.

This started off strong - I actually really liked the boarding school scenes and the new characters. I was a bit underwhelmed by the resolution though. Saying that, will definitely be checking out some of the author's other works! And the narrator - she was just fabulous :)

Not sure why some people didn’t like the end of this book. I loved it. And there was one person who didn’t think there was enough of Jared our favorite Angel is Death, I thought he was nicely represented. I mean, after all, this was more her story than his.
