When I first started this book I was actually pretty excited about it. I knew it was going to be something that I could really get into. I think the first few chapters made me have high hopes for it, the characters seemed like they would be a lot of fun to get to know and for whatever reason, I love books set in schools, you know, the whole Harry Potter feel?In fact as I got past the first few chapters I noticed that it almost had the same feel to it as the Vampire Academy series by Rachel Mead (not a copy or anything, just a slight feel to it that was a little similar).I started this book without having read the first in the series, The Secret of Scarlet Stone, which, I will be honest, sometimes makes me nervous, but I was assured that it stood on its own and I wouldn't need to read the first one to know what was happening in this one and thankfully that was true. I never felt lost or confused or like I had missed something important.Right away the characters drew me into the story. The plot line was really interesting and moved pretty quickly.There were times where it was a bit confusing and the story did jump from first person to third person randomly so it was a little distracting but overall if you looked past that and a few editing errors the story was a fun one and kept me interested.It did end on a slight cliffhanger, nothing drastic but I do look forward to reading the next book to see how the story progresses. I think this could turn out to be a really good clean YA urban fantasy series with a little bit of everything in it to please everyone.
