Protect my poor baby Corrick! I love him so much. I was just getting back into my YA Fantasy era when I first read this a year ago, and coming back to it made me love it even more!

I only read this book with the intent of getting it off of my TBR and bookshelf. I regret not reading it sooner. I never wanted to put it down. It was so good even when I thought I saw the twists coming it would throw in another twist to confuse me. I loved Corrick and Tessa’s relationship. Tessa’s relationship with Wes. I immediately need to start the next book.
