It's been a long time since I've read a YA Paranormal book, no reason other than getting caught up with other genres. When I saw the cover and blurb for this book, I knew I had to jump on the tour. SO freaking glad I did. I aboslutely ADORE this book and I need the next book, so if you are reading this Hadley Holt, can I get that next book pretty please! Reading this book reminded me why I love Paranormal YA so much. It's more than just a love story, its building the world, a wizard world, and Hadley Holt executed it perfectly.Addie is turning 16 alongside her twin brother Zarius... don't like the kid, but we all have our evil counter parts right? Without giving too much a way, I'll just say that this group of wizard-kin has things barbaric. Only men having power and being able to go out into the human world, didn't care much for the attitudes of these men, but what can you do? They hold all the power....or do they? Addie has power, great power, but in gaining that power she's put in danger. A prophecy foretells of a Wizard QUEEN and what she must do. What is it you ask? Trust me when I say that you are going to want to read it. I completely fell in love with this story down to the individual familiars that Addie receives and the first kiss with Rory.Hadley Holt had my attention from the moment I started and kept the attention for days after I've finished. Addie's friendship with Izzy and Hugo remind me of the friendships I had when I was in school. It's refreshing in a weird way to see the dynamics between all of them. Then there's the forbidden attraction with the 'human' they call Rory. Then again, maybe he's not so human, and if he's not a human what exactly is he? Just when you think you have everything figured out and where it's going to lead, Hadley Holt will leave you guessing, on the edge of your seat begging for the next book to see what happens because it's far from over... if anything it just begun. I can't wait to see what Addie, Rory, Hugo, and Izzy are up to in the next installment of this series.
