3.0 out of 5 stars I'm interested to see what happens but..... January 2, 2012

I had to contemplate this story for a while before I could think of what to write for a review and I'm still kinda feeling short for words so Im going to do this review a little different then I have done in the past.

Was the story interesting? Yes. There were some great little twists, imaginative situations and it was easy to get into.
Were the characters easy to follow and like? Yes and yes.
Was the setting likable? Yes I loved the New Orleans plantation setting.
Was the story paced well? uh kinda, there were certain times throughout the story that it tended to be a tad bit slow.
Was Arelia's best friend a total spoiled rich princess that got on my nerves? Y-E-S.
Did you like the ending? No, It didnt feel like the story was ready to end. It was just getting interesting again when all of a sudden the chapter ended and there was no more to read about. It wasn't just cliffhanger-ish but it made the story feel unfinished. It was a really cruddy place to end the book.
Will I read book 2? Maybe, I'm interested to see what happens but not overly excited to pick it up.

1.0 out of 5 stars No ending??! March 26, 2012

There is nothing more dissapointing that watching a good movie or reading a decent book, spending hours of your time, only to get to the end and discover that there is NO ENDING. Granted, the author is trying to lure the readers into buying the next book in the series, but this isn't the best way to do it. In essense, the book ends with many questions unanswered, without a conclusion of any kind, and in the middle of an unfinished conversation. Had I known this upfront, I wouldn't have wasted my time.

Personally I really enjoyed this book. I loved the mystery and the hatred in this story. I am 12 years old and I think people older then me or with mature taste would like this book. in conclusion This book was great I loved the charecters, setting, magical eliment but I especially loved the balance of love and hate.
