This book has a good mystery and romance attached to it. Lily and Aizo are opposites in some aspects but the same in others, yet they work together as a couple. This is very different than the other books in Plucking series and I'm not sure if it is really part of it. Missing words and letters were distracting and annoying making its rating 3.5 stars.
