I don''t usually like to read about witch craft but, I'm glad I took a chance on this book! This book is just as beautiful and engaging as its cover. I really enjoyed going through this fantasy adventure with Jewel and her extremely unconventional family. I liked Jewel a lot because even though everything was extremely new for her, she didn't come across whiny at all. She dug to the bottom of things and I loved that.I'm pretty tired of the love triangle theme; does ever YA have to have one? The only reason I'm giving this book four stars is it really didn't need to have that included in the book. The chemistry between Jewel and Roman was great. Their loved didn't feel forced and it was totally believable.I really enjoyed digging into the world that Shannon Duffy created. It's a world brooding just underneath the surface but just as real as the natural world. It was beautiful, a tad complex and very compelling. Speaking of compelling, this book has so many different twists and turns it kept me interested from the beginning to the end. I was totally intrigued from start to finish. To say it is a roller coaster ride is an understatement.I would definitely recommend this to all fans of the YA genre considering it hits all of the high points.
