Review: not believable
Rating: 2 out of 5

The book isn't the worst thing I have ever read.  The writer is very talented.  The problem is that this is supposed to be a teen novel.  I don't know any parents who would want their 17 year old sleeping with her boy friend at his house or her house.  There is potential for great betrayal as this young man has the power to manipulate minds and, given human nature, I think he would manipulate Jade.  They claim to love one another but that is not believable either.  Jade seems to be a very self-centered childish person, not ready for the kind of relationship she is in with Aiden.  The side characters are not well developed.  Jade is supposed to possess power but she really does not have any wisdom to use any power that she has been given according to the story.  I read the book quickly without skimming and the book could have been excellent with more story and less inappropriate sex.  Jade did not have the wisdom to even say no.  She appeared to be a person ruled by impulsive unchecked emotion easily manipulated. I wanted to like her and did like some things about her but its hard to look up to someone so easily manipulated and controlled by those around her.
