How do I start this? I would like to say that I tried to like our main character but unfortunately, I don't. River is a girl, who very much likes to be alone, and in fact she's very lonely but that doesn't mean that nobody tried to talk to her and be her friend. She just wanted to be alone? Until she met with The Graces. She suddenly became very obsessed with The Graces and she wanted them to notice her. She wanted to be their friend, to be in their circle. She wanted to be loved by The Graces. And what's more? She wanted to be a Grace more than anything. 
 Well, everybody loves The Graces. They are rich, and unsurprisingly, have strong influences in town. We are introduced to the twins; Thalia and Fenrin Grace, and their younger sister; Summer. It all started when one of The Graces noticed River and to be honest, it felt so sudden and I just don't understand how it happened. They became friends. And River literally like obsessed and attached to The Graces. And it's annoying. 
 Being friends with witches might make you look cool and stuffs but it has its ups and downs. The downside of being friends with witches is inconceivable. You seriously don't want to know about it. You might end up being crazy. 
 "Friendship meant trust, didn't it?" 
 Thalia believes her family is cursed, and as much as I want to talk about it, I can't, without spoiling everything. They tried everything to get rid of it and suddenly, the story just stopped mentioning about that curse. Ok you know what? Now, I'm confused. Long story short, something bad happened and everything started to turn the other way 'round. There was a plot twist that caught me by surprise. And I did not expect that at all. And it actually does make sense to the whole story. 
 Half of the story was quite dull and boring but the second half was actually ok, if not good. The pace increases as tension builds. Good thing about it, I can't stop reading it. The ending was ok but I really need to know more about our 'mysterious' main character so I hope that I'll get it in the next book which will come out in 2017. 
 And let's just admire the cover...
