I wanted to read this book from the moment I saw the cover and read the summary. The cover is absolutely gorgeous and the summary is very intriguing.I was not disappointed at all. The story was very exciting and kept me captivated from the beginning. It is filled with mystery, suspense, and romance. This was a definite page turner for me.The story revolves around Jewel and the her family. Ever since she can remember her family has been on the run without an answer to why. On her latest move she overhears a conversation about herself and meets a mysterious boy who both led to Jewel searching for answers to her past and present. What Jewel discovers is family secrets that will change her life drastically.I really liked Jewel. She starts off as meek and obedient. She never questions her life. She has a great amount of loyalty to the ones that she loves, especially her little brother. She learns to be brave, strong, and independent. I enjoyed watching her grow through the story. She was easy to relate to and I was very happy to see her kick some butt.I found the relationship between Jewel and her family refreshing. Jewel is very loyal to her family and attempts to keep that loyalty even after discovering some deeply hidden family secrets. I enjoyed the friendships and the romance of the book too. The romance was a little too quick for me and I would have liked to seen it built slower and deeper but I still felt the love.All in all this is a great read. It was fun and I will look for future books by this author.
