Blurb:

My Take on the Book:
This is the first book in the series; it appears to be a trilogy. There seemed to be quite a bit of mystery in the beginning of this book, and the dark setting of the novel appealed to me. There were one or two times where I got the impression of cliques or hierarchies in this book. I found this to be quite a good read and gave it a four star rating.

Last Word:
I'm not one that reads Young Adult very often, I have a tendency to be fussy with which ones I pick up. I'm definitely glad that I've been able to read the first book of this series, and I intend on carrying on and finishing it. 

Enjoy,
Carmen.
