I loved this book! It hooked me from the beginning and I just could not stop reading.

Lillia, Kat, and Mary make a plan to get Reeve to fall for Lillia and then break his heart. I thought this plan was a bit excessive considering what the girls already did to Reeve at Homecoming.

I love almost all of the characters in this book. I feel like we really got to understand them. Lillia is my favorite, she went through so much in this book and really grew as a character. She finally got out of Rennie's shadow and started to be herself. Her relationship with Reeve was so interesting and not what I expected at all. I found myself speeding through Kat and Mary's chapters just so I could get back to Lillia.

Kat is a still an amazing character. She does and says whatever she wants. She is a good friend and it was great to see more of her family and her home life. I really want her and Alex together, they seem like they understand each other more than anyone else.

Mary was not my favorite. I felt like she was really selfish and did not grow at all. I was sick of hearing about her and Reeve. Her obsession with getting revenge on him made her so unlikable. The end of the book was definitely a shock for me and I'm a little scared to see what Mary does in the next book.

Rennie. Rennie is the worst, I absolutely hated her, but at the same time I understood her jealousy toward Lillia. Lillia seems to have everything, money, looks, family, and two guys who are totally in love with her. I get why Rennie is jealous, but Lillia is supposed to be her best friend. There were so many other ways Rennie could have handled things but she was just petty and vindictive. I don't know if I bought her apology to Kat either. It all just seemed so calculated. I know I should feel bad about what happens to her but by the end of the book I was so sick of her.

The ending was so good! While I started to put together what was going on with Mary I did not expect what happened to Rennie. Everything is starting to make a little more sense but at the same time there are so many questions. I have no idea what's going to happen in the next book but I can't wait to find out!

This series is the perfect mix of revenge, friendship, romance, and just a little paranormal thrown in. The character are interesting and complex. There were so many twist and turns I just couldn't put this down until I finished. The ending left me reeling and wanting so much more. I can't wait for Ashes to Ashes!
