I gave it four stars out of five due to grammar errors found in the book. Otherwise it's a huge five star rating! Follow the reviews on [...] for more book reviews!All I can say is WOW!! I was completely taken by surprise on this book! It was very easy to read (although a few grammar errors) and had a hard time putting it down.Anastasia (aka: Ana) lived life as a nomad; always on the road and always on the run with her mother. She has no idea WHAT she's running from or WHO but she's been trained by her mother to spot things in any room to use as a weapon and find escape routes.  One night, after a fight w/her mother, Ana heard noises from the front door when her mother answered it. Her mother was attacked, the attacker found Ana in her room and was about to kill her when suddenly, someone saved her but who? Ana has no idea! She went to check on her mother and after realizing she's still alive, her mother's dieing words to her, "get the yellow envelope, you know the one, and follow the directions." Ana found it then returned to her mother. Ana's mother closed her eyes and appeared to have died. ALL THIS IS THE FIRST CHAPTER! Moving forward, Ana flees and follows her directions and happens upon a boy and his grandfather. They take her to her grandmother (her mom's mom) for safety... which is where her luxury living picks up.  Ana learns things about herself she never knew were possible or even real (fairy tale people!).When Ana is "introduced to society" by her grandmother, her escort for the evening was the dashing Darren (he sounds super yummy in the book!). She of course falls flat on her face & trips down the stairs, landing w/ her dress up over her waist! Tell me that is not LOL funny!After the party, Ana picks her bedroom in the house, which used to be her Aunts room growing up, and settles in.  She finds a note from a diary on her bed and reads it. Suddenly a rush of memories come into her head and she starts to follow them, trying to find someone in her memory, the green-eyed boy.  She does find him and she recognizes him but not sure why or how because she's sure she's never met him before her in life.As the story pans on, Ana finds herself in a love triangle, discovers she's a conjurer (which is a huge no-no according to her people) and can read people's mind.  Highly recommend this book to anyone who loves fantasy/fiction, suspense and the super-natural! A hint to the other characters in the book... vampires, witches and warlocks OH MY!!! :) Happy reading!  Brown Eyes (book 2, the forever trilogy) is due out June 27, 2011.
