I admit that this book had me pretty lost. I liked the mystery of Mira Levine's life, but it was almost TOO mysterious, as in by the end of book 1 in the series, I still had NO idea what was happening. I understood that it was all setting the reader up for book 2, but I don't feel like I learned anything about the characters or the mystery surrounding them by the end of the four chapter book.  It seemed too short for me, and when I finish a book, whether it be a series book, a novella, or a full fledged novel; I want to know what the heck is going on! Another problem that I had was with the grammar. Way, way too many commas were used. I'm an English teacher, so maybe not everyone would pick up on the excessive comma usage, but it actually began to distract me from what I was reading!I liked the supernatural events that were beginning to evolve in the story, but I just feel like the book could have been so much better if it had been longer, and had gone into more detail on Mira's life. It just needed a little more excitement and depth. I won't say I hated it, because I don't believe I could ever hate a book, but it wasn't my favorite, and I hope the books following in the series have some serious excitement!I give this book 3 out of 5 stars.
