I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.This was such an amazing read!  The author did such a great job at creating such a wonderful story that I couldn't help but be sucked in.This book is the story of two sisters, Violet and Sam.  Their family has moved to another small town in the middle of nowhere, just like many times in the past.  The girls have no idea why they keep moving and their parents never really tell them anything about their reasons for moving.  Soon they find out that this town is very different than any of the other towns they have lived in and they are sucked in to the middle of a crazy drama.  Sam is especially affected by this turn of events because she is the older sister and is almost more like a mom to Violet than a sibling.The characters in this book are all very well written.  I fell in love with Violet and her precociousness.  She is such a friendly little girl and loves to help those she cares about.  The only problem is that she always believes that people are good and in this book that is not always the case.  You can definitely see why Sam feels so protective of her.  All of the other characters were wonderful too.  The only character that wasn't was Sam and Violet's father.  He is really not talked about in the book and it is almost as if he really isn't a part of the family.  I do wish that his character would have been explained a little better.  With all of the craziness that happened with the family during the book you would think he would have been more involved and it would have been nice to have a little more explanation as to why he wasn't.My favorite part of this book was how well the author did in creating such an evil villain.  I do not usually enjoy the villains in books.  I am more of the good always wins kind of person.  That being said, I think that the villain in this book is the most truly evil character I have ever encountered in a book.  I think that most of the reason why this villain seemed so evil is because of who they are.  Their character is one that should be kind and caring toward the girls but instead the further in to the book you get the more and more you realize how horrible they truly are.  Sorry to be a bit vague but I really am trying not to give anything away.Other than the vagueness with the father's character there is nothing in this book that I didn't love.  The story is original and enthralling and you can't help but be drawn in thoroughly.  Sam and Violet face such crazy obstacles that they have to overcome when they just want to live a normal, happy life, and just when you think things can't get any crazier, they do.  I can't wait for the next book in the series to  come out so that I can finally find out what happens to Sam and Violet.
