Galley: No
Nominate for Teen’s Top 10: No
Cover: It was not a very exciting book to pick up. I merely picked it because I was late to the club meeting. The colors are bland and almost sore to the eyes. The coin reflects the books contents, but it could be better arranged to grab a buyer's attention.
Recommend: Yes
Convince us to read the book: It is a book with thrills, love, laughs, and sadness. It encompasses many aspects of the emotion range that is needed to create a well-written book.
Compelling Aspect of the Book: The most compelling aspect of this book was the struggle for the main character to do what is right in her moral values while still maintaining a sense that good and evil sometimes blur.
Did you finish: Yes
Were you disappointed with the book at all: I was slightly disappointed with the book because the writing was not as professional as it could be. I feel the book could have been much more developed before it was published.
