Review:
I found
this book to be enjoyable. It is the
story of a girl named Roxy, who has just moved into a new town with her
father. As the new kid in the high
school she feels uncomfortable until she meets Amber. They become best friends and Amber helps her
adjust. There is a small group of
students called The Elites; they are beautiful and stick to themselves. Roxy feels an immediate pull towards one of
them- Luke. He is absolutely beautiful
and he seems attracted to Amber too. The
stares Roxy gets from the other Elites makes her question what they are all
about. Roxy and Luke do begin a
relationship that goes VERY fast. The
other Elites are not happy about it. From their relationship Roxy learns a lot
of things- what the elites are about, that she really is a witch, where her
mother is (who left when she was young), the identity of the black cat that has
been coming around her, about the witch hunters, and more.
This book
was a fun read. It totally reminded me
of Twilight in parts. The characters
were great. I felt bad for Roxy at times
and Luke was definitely a bit of a crush for me. I did think the relationship between Roxy and
Luke went a little too fast. They were
in love with each other within a few days of starting their relationship. The book does need some editing- not a ton
but I did notice some things. Overall, this
is a good young adult book; definitely for younger people. I am curious to see what happens in next book
in the series. If you are looking for a
fun, light read, this is a good choice!
3/5 Stars
