Review: Good, but the blurb is for the series not this book
Rating: 4 out of 5

A story about a young high school girl Julissa and what happens when, after her father's death, she and her mother move to her late uncle's cabin.The story introduces the characters of Aaron, and his family, and Julissa's new best friend Cherrie and her back story.What I liked about the book was the story of the characters and the fact that the life of Julissa was written in a YA style.  It was refreshing to concentrate on young people's friendships and feelings without it being written in a sexual way.After friendship develops between Julissa and Aaron, we start to learn more about him and his background and then the story ends on a cliff hanger.  I understand that the story unfolds over five books but it would have been nice to have learnt a bit more about Aaron's `talents' in this part of the story.The book doesn't work as a standalone novels as there are far too many loose ends so be prepared to read the next in the series as well.Overall, I enjoyed the story in this so 4/5.*I received a complimentary copy of this book in order to review it.
