> 3 dayThis was a great book. At the end it left me yearning for more. I thoroughly enjoyed it, even though Im a little past the YA standards in age. LOL! But thats ok, Im passing it on to my teens & tweens, because Im sure theyll love it as much as I did!

> 3 dayThough it was geared towards a YA crowd I found myself caught up in the story line and truly disappointed when the book ended. I cant wait for the sequel! Jack and Violet are teenage characters that could turn into typical stereotypes but they retain a reality and likability throughout the book. The use of vampires, werewolves, fairies, witches and warlocks was smartly underdone to let the reader get to learn about the backstory of the teens. You know the other beings are there but they dont overshadow. Their supernatural abilities are brought to the foreground at the end, when the reader is comfortable with their presence. I cant wait to see how the next book develops everyone.

Greater than one weekIts not often I read a fantasy book and enjoy it. When I first read the synopsis, I was a little worried that it was going to be `yet another vampire book. The calibre of the authoring makes this one a cut above the rest and I eagerly await the next instalment. I am recommending it to all my friends and they too are impatiently waiting for the next book to be written. The writing is superb. The author really excites the imagination, by transporting the reader to the world of the twins and the supernatural world they have been flung into. The book appeals both to young adults and adults, making it the perfect book to read and talk about together. I would recommend this book for any parent who wants to encourage their young adult to read.

Greater than one weekThis is a spectacular story that may be written for the YA crowd, but it has an intriguing story that anyone would find interesting and wrapped up in. Its very well written, the characters are developed nicely, and the attention to detail is phenomenal. Its a great start to a great adventure, and I look forward to losing myself in their further adventures.

Greater than one weekI have finished with the 1st book of the series and I kept wondering when is book 2, 3 & 4....so on! I need a Series of Movies! I was picturing faces, wondering who would play who! OMG I LOVED IT! Mrs.Perez, you have done a great job with this and since I have been a reader for 6 years now, you have more hooked then before!!!!

> 3 dayIn a world of Harry Potter, Twilight and even True Blood...THIS book stands out. It is all of the mystical beings that woke us from dreams as children, written in a witty intelligent way that has not been done before. The reader does not get sidetracked by gratuitous violence or sex. Instead we the readers are pulled into the pages and could visualize what was happening on the pages like an Ominmax movie in our brains. The characters are well written, and in a way that you want to...HAVE to know what happens next. ALL of them, not just the main characters. I am eagerly waiting for what happens next to Violet and Jack (and everyone else) Thank You Ms. Perez for writing a book that not only I, but my children enjoy equally.

> 3 dayI cant add much more than what has been said in previous reviews. I purposely waited several weeks after reading the book to see how I felt. Did I truly care about the characters? Am I in anticipation for the next book? Do I remember significant details about the book and its characters? I can say yes to all 3. As someone else mentioned. It could have been longer. I think there are parts of the story and characters that I think could have been flushed out more. Overall it was an enjoyable and quick read. Nice addition to the world of Young Adult fiction. I look forward to the rest of the series. The following comment has nothing to do with the Author but with the Amazon publishing: Ive had the book about 2 months a few weeks after purchasing the book the plastic covering on the book jacket started peeling and I think it only stopped because I finished the book. The book has not gotten wet or been exposed to extreme temperatures. Im not sure if it was a batch issue or what.

> 3 dayI found this book to be predictable and unoriginial. In this era of supernatural fiction it rang a little blah to me. Nothing too snazzy or new to add to the subject. Came off a bit cliche. Also, I found the book to be a bit slow and then POW! we get to the climax without much work-up. And the climax ended just as quickly as it began. I think Nina Perez has potentional and, with time, could be a great writer.

> 3 dayIve been reading Ninas work online for a couple of years and she is a smart, relatable writer. This book is something even I didnt realize she was capable of. While it is geared for the YA group (and I will be sharing this with my 11-year-old for certain) any adult who follows the supernatural genre will find this an easy, enjoyable read. There is a fantastic blend between mythology and current technology that I havent seen attempted in any other novel with this success. I finished it in less than a day! You will NOT be disappointed.
