I tried. Like I REALLY tried to like this  series. But I just could not get into it. Maybe it was the horoscopes, maybe it was the basic plot, but it definitely shouldn’t be compared to Harry Potter as an adult version with *spice*.

I hesitated with reading this book because of the TW but I am glad I finally did. I understand why the TW were listed and why some might need them. This wasn't a fluffy book to read but a very dark book which I have been in the mood for. I am already falling for a few of the boys and I wonder what that says about me.  I really like how strong Darcy and Tory Vega are and you might think they are broken but they are not. I can't want to see what they are up to in the next book and I can't wait to read about some revenge. I love some good revenge.

Woah, what a great first book to bring in the new year. I just saw this book on my recommended list and saw the reviews were quite good so I decided to give it a chance. I'm obsessed. Like Game of Thrones and Harry Potter's baby, the plot is so interesting, mysterious, and unique. I honestly could not predict where the story was going which is so refreshing, the writting was so good. I still don't know where the story is going but I'm here for it. I have very high hopes for this series. Amazing 1st book.

I hated pretty much everyone this entire book. I was waiting for the “Carrie” moment where the twins finally kicked the heirs asses < but it never happened.> I can enjoy an enemies to lovers trope but this straight bully romance is not appealing at all. I groaned every single time the sisters had an internal debate about fighting their lust for a bunch of dickwads <who tried to kill them multiple times as a joke.> The only reason why I gave it two stars is because I do want to know when that kick ass moment will happen (because it has to) and find out what the grand mystery is between which fae class the twins are and who is behind the dementor attacks.
