It's difficult for me to write a review about this book, not because it wasn't awesome, but because it is so different from anything I've ever read. It made me feel things I usually don't feel when reading a book: simultaneous enchantment and dread.Morgan Masters could be anyone of us. A woman with a tragic past and a humdrum life. Everyone tells her to settle for the ordinary, but she yearns for romance and a love that spans time and space, something her parents had before they mysteriously disappeared.When Morgan plunges off a cliff, she is caught in an unknown world so alternatively beautiful and frightening that it's hard to say whether it's real or imagined. Like Morgan, I was mystified at this world. I had some pretty wild hypotheses about the mansion, the meet and greet, and the sucking swimming pool, but as the story unfolded, I was drawn into BEN the ultimate fantasy boyfriend. From his golden blond locks to his glittering blue eyes, to his chiseled body and tender kindness, Ben is a dream come true. But... a sinister presence lurks, and Ben and his friend Danny cannot tell Morgan how to avoid it.I can't give away the plot, but it is oh, so heartwrenching. And yet, you know Morgan is extraordinary and that she WILL find her way. The scenes with Ashley and Eddie (another plot I won't give away) are heartwarming and even hilarious. You'll laugh and cheer for them and love them all the way as they Find Forever. This book has a very special place in my heart and I look forward to the sequels to find out the secret of the hidden world.
