So I received this book through Goodreads First Reads Giveaway.
Me and this book have a love-hate relationship. I loved the way it was written. I know that this is the author's first book, but it doesn't read like that. It is so well written. You can tell that everything was precisely thought out. Also the point of views switch back and forth and you can always tell which characters views you are reading. It really works for the story. Now for the hate part of the relationship. So many questions. I spent half the book in utter confusion. By the end of the book I am still left with so many questions. It was clearly written to be a series, but I think it could of easily been one book, if it was written to be.
The story itself was pretty good. It was like nothing I've read before. It isn't the same old, same old magical/supernatural book.
I'd recommend this book to someone who enjoys a good mystery entangled in the story of 2 worlds. One world with magic that is used as a weapon and that is all that should be acknowledge of it. The other world with no clue of the first world. And in the middle a girl Charlotte, and her twin best friends, Perry and Andie, who fits in both, yet neither worlds. She and the twins soon find out what ties them to both worlds.
