AMAZEBALLS!!!

This was an incredibly good book. It had some flaws of course but I'm really surprised at how much I enjoyed it. It wasn't your typical YA fantasy novel where the girl is annoying and guys are throwing themselves at her feet. No. This was like a British Nancy Drew/W.i.t.ch. paranormal-mystery.

The protagonist is seventeen year old Kami Glass who's smart, funny and quirky. She has a special friend named Jared whom she confides in through telepathy. She's a very ambitious young girl who likes to investigate and write newspaper articles. She's best friends with Angela, a beautiful exotic young lady who hates people, loves sleep and is lazy as hell. Kami's also friends with the gorgeous, smart and funny Holly who helps with the investigations. But Kami's world turns upside down when the old infamous Lynburn family returns to Sorry-in-the-Vale and resumes occupation in the old mansion and she finds out that her secret friend is actually a hot young bad boy with magical abilities and a dangerous past. Now, Kami and her friends have to solve the string of vandalisms and a murder before whoever is out to get her finishes the job.

Aside from the jaw-dropping cliffhanger I completely adored this book. It was well-written, filled with witty dialogue and mystery. I liked Jared even though he was so frustrating and pigheaded at times. His relationship with Kami was adorable (sorry Ash you were an asshole). And I liked Angela, she made me laugh with almost everything she said. It was just so amazing. I recommend this book to everyone and I'm excited for the sequel.
