First in a series. I loved it and am really irritated that I have so much to read for class that I can't immediately start the second book. Blue is a great character and the boys are all very different and interesting as well. There is so much tension from the beginning with the prophecy that Blue would kiss her true love and he would die. Discovering a twist about one of the boys in the middle of the book was shocking. Everyone in the whole book seemed to have secrets and they all aren't discovered yet! If you can listen to the audiobook version, you should. The reader does the Virginia accents really well and puts you in the story. :)
