1: One of the best books
As I read deeper and deeper into the book, I just couln't put it down! The suspence, mystery, shock and detail just made the book so amazing. This book from front to back cover is by far one of the best books I have ever read and I cannot wait to get it's next book, Rebel Angels.

2: Just OK
Beautiful prose, with lots of description. I think I would have enjoyed the story more if it had moved a bit faster, but I did enjoy the author's style, and the characters were well developed. The ending was a bit of a let-down for me. I didn't realize it was a series, but it didn't engage me enough to read on.

3: it didnt Grab me
I'm a pretty avid reader, I devour books in one or two day when they grab me. But this one, I don't know...I thought it was this excellent book, but it just okay. i think its for somebody who reads like 20 pages for day. Its a book to read it very slowly. the book didn't grab me at all. the author, for me, its very simple, the things she wrote in the book didn't catch my attention at all, didnt surprise me at all, very cliche-y book. Maybe it is good for kids, but for the avid reader, who enjoys reading a book the whole day DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME. I hope rebel angels is better because i bought both of them. and will buy the third, because I want to know how it ends.

4: Enjoyable, I will read the other 2 in the series ASAP
This was in my amazon recomendations so I thought I would try it. I was a little sceptical from the begining because Gemma seemed like a spoiled brat but it picked up quickly and I could barely put it down. The end suprised me and was satisfying. I am a Twilight and HP fanatic looking for more series books to sink my teeth into. I would say however this book is not for girls under high school age. It got a little graphic sexually more so than I would find appropriate for middle school or younger to be reading.

5: Excellent Series
I bought the third book at Wal-Mart not knowing it was the last one in the set. I read the first few pages and had to buy the other two. Wal-Mart didn't carry the first to anymore and I live too far from a bookstore so got them here. I have to say that this set was a fast and fun read. I read each book in less than a day...all three books are pretty thick too!
