There are some books you read that make you remember your teen years fondly.  Though mine was never covered with the outstanding magical fantasy that didn't mean that the moments of some teenage rebellion or what my father thought was didn't compare.  It made me smile and gave me fond memories of times past to pop to the imagination which only helped the story it's self unfurl and  make me turn the pages even so I stayed up all night just to finish it.  Though some of the scenes are meant more for the Younger Adult  I still say that this book  was one that definitely goes on my save to read shelf .Hope is dealing with the divorce and change to her lives that her parents have thrown them all into.  Missing her life and friends in Georgia is one thing.  Doing it because she feels her father couldn't live without her  is another.  His drinking problem only seems to pull her more into an adult life than she really needs to be basically mothering not only her father and her twin brothers that came with them to California Hope has lost herself into that roll of teenage parent almost.  Covering all things for her father when he's to busy being drunk in his room and being lost in the loss of his wife.Finding herself on meeting few people one that she meets first is Slade, The quiet brooding , tattooed and pierced young man from down at Henry Park.  One of the band members of the mysterious band  Evil Kings of Ink.  She is drawn to him.  But the fun doesn't stop there .  She meets Tucker  as well one of the popular handsome boys of Ashwilder School of the Arts which is where Hope is going to school as well and is warned to stay away from  Slade. The question is which is more dangerous Tucker or Slade?  If you want to know I HIGHLY suggest you pull out this wonderful work from Holly Hood.  I know I hope that perhaps there will be more on the whole story of Hope and the mystical life she comes to lead.
