This book is amazing!
We have a subtle mix of adventure, mischief and magic, just the perfect amount to make it catchy,
impossible to drop.
The way it's written is pretty interesting; a different point of view on each chapter, and yet we're having this harmony that makes the book complex, but still easy to follow and really and quite refreshing.
I loved the characters, how they are full of secrets and yet so open, every time you think you got them, they show you a new side of their personality, a new piece of the puzzle.
Especially Kaz, maybe the most complex character. I spent the whole book trying to figure out if I like him or hate him, I still do.
And then we have the end.The way this book ends is genius, Leigh managed to keep us in suspense, getting us totally hooked and craving for the next one!
To resume, another brilliant book, quite different from the usual.
I'm definitely looking forward to read the sequel!
