This book sure is special, I can honestly say I haven't read anything like it at all. It had this supernatural girl, who is afraid of her ability, and by using it and become insane, and this seemingly normal boy, who is anything but.Seraphina (how cool is that name?!) is such a strong, beautifull girl, kids her age avoids her, because she is 'different' and they are afraid of her and her ability.She heals people, on the expens of her sanity, when she finds a very hurt and scarred boy in the woods, how can she resist helping him, when every fiber in her soul knows she needs to heal him.Then there is the mystery of Zach, the boy in the woods, no one knows heexist or haveever seen him, Seraphina is afraid that she has finally lost it and conjured him up.The sweet and innocent relationship between Zach and Sera is so pure and loving that it nearly shatteres your heart inot gazillion pieces, and when we read what Sera is going thourgh alone, the hallucinations, the angst of never seeing Zach because she will be locked up forever, and the guilt she knows he will feel, when he finds out that the consequences of healing him and making him normal is what caused her to lose her sanity, it breaks her heart, and definitely broke mine too.There were many times where I emotionally thought 'please, no more, I can't take anymore, something good must happen!'This book is a hidden treasure, that you want to hide a special place in your heart and only take out when you most need to reaffirm that there exist something good in this world, and when you have lost faith and need to believe in something. This book is what you should read, again and again, until you have every line memorized.Summer has captured my heart, and i give her my permission to keep as long as she keeps delivering, beautiful, enchanting, heartfelt, andamazing stories like this one.Definitely recommended!
