Three's a crowd. At least that's what I've heard and I've definitely come to learn that it’s true. My best friend's new girlfriend is a complete pain in the ass and if it wasn't for me being on my last warning at Gilford High I'd definitely do something about it.
The consequences of my doing so aren't just your usual slap on the wrist kind of punishments. When strange things begin to happen and my eyes start to freaking GLOW I'm whisked away to...you guessed it...the Winterwood Academy for the 'Gifted'.
I don't feel very gifted. In fact I feel like the biggest freak in an entire school of freaks. As the hottest guy at the Academy would say "I'm the Queen of Freaks" but coming from him it's actually kind of sweet.
Oh and did I forget to mention that not only am I having strange encounters with a Goddamn Goddess, I'm also hearing voices in my head and there's a book in the Academy library that's actually TALKING to me!
They say that only a true Winterwood Witch is capable of opening that book so why the hell does it want anything to do with me?
This is the first young adult novel I have read in quite a while, so I wasn't sure how I was going to perceive it. But I found myself gripped and unable to put the book down. Other than the obvious reasons, I was very disappointed when I had to go to work and leave the book alone. It took me a couple days to read, but I was reading non stop.
Great Character Development, Great Story Line, Good Use of Mythology and a great set up for a sequel. I can't wait!
Amazing character development. For fans of the Zoe Redbird books, the main character in Marked. Plot is quick moving, doesn’t lag with unending teen angst.
I haven't read a YA adult book in a while and was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this easy read. Compare it to the first book in the Alfheim Academy which I finished just to finish and this one where I will continue reading on. Four stars.
Was a good book and great story line. Was a little bit predictable Had a few spots where there seemed to be wrong or extra words but all in all I would read this again. Looking forward to the next book.
