4.5 Magical StarsI was given the chance to beta read Melissa's & Nicole's YA Paranormal book and was happy that it turned out to be such a great read.Both authors perfectly turned a well-known story into something totally new and gave the book the perfect mixture of magic, suspense, twists, and wth-effects; oh yeah some there's sweet love story to find as well ;). Reading the first paragraphs of the story totally hooked me, and I was all in. I was curious how Gwen's life will turn out in an unknown world full of magic; especially after forcing to leave her beloved friends and home behind.Hallows Haven creates a solid base and basic understanding for the following books in Melissa's & Nicole's series; with insides of Gwens family line and what happens after Gwen finds out about the family secrets,which were kept hidden,turning her life even more upside down. Who to trust/blame/believe and who not are constant questions in Gwen's mind.Gwen realizes during the first weeks living in Hallows Haven that nothing, or better no one is really who they seem to be. That's when her story really begins...Be aware the book ends with a great wth moment and I wished I could have squeezed an answer out of the author's, finding out how it continues, because I'm hella curious,but I had no luck. So like you, I have to wait to read the second book. And like me, after reading THIS ending, you definitive want to know how it continues.So yes, I recommend it to everyone !
