I received a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review (thanks to Never too Old for Y.A. and N.A. Books).Where to start reviewing this book...? It's all still too confusing and can't put my thoughts into words...The story was interesting and mysterious and kept me reading.But the characters.... Well, I didn't like them.I couldn't see why Donna liked Ryan so much. Yeah, she had known him since they were kids, but she should have realized as soon as he stopped being her friend that he was not the same kid now. And he didn't care about her as much as she cared about him.And he was a big jerk. A superficial guy. And how he even could bear being so close to Lynn was a mystery. Or, well, not really, since he was a jerk almost as much as she was a witch with a B. Yeah, she was kind of jealous, but still, she was awful and mean towards Donna, and he said nothing, made nothing to change that. He said he cared and liked Donna but he didn't act like he actually did.I guess Donna was an OK character, but still wasn't that great.Her friends...her so called "best friends" were two cowards rabbits. They ran away and left Donna right when she needed them. I kind of understood Spencer's reasons for running away, but still felt disgusted the moment he fled the scene at the lake. I liked how he saved Donna though. And that he had a change of heart and went back to being friends with Donna.Rebecca on the other hand....was kind of selfish and only went to Donna for asking her help at saving Paul. I think she's one of the worst friends I've seen in books ever.Paul I liked. He was smart and brave.Randy....creeped me out a little, but in the end kind of baffled me.... We'll see in the next book...Brook was nice. A good friend to Donna.The ending left me more confused than ever and with more new questions and no answers....I'll have to wait for book 2 to come out then....
