First and foremost, I liked this book. It was able to deliver a spooky atmosphere that I really enjoyed. Ethan's narration was a nice change. you don't see many books written from the male perspective, which I actually quite like. I've read some reviews that said Ethan's POV was too feminine. I didn't feel that way. He wasn't at all macho or anything like that. He was a sweet, southern gentleman, and I thought it was pretty well done to be honest. I've read books that have a male POV that are overly feminine. This didn't strike me that way. 
 I would have given this one 4 stars for the great plot line. I really enjoyed the whole world of Casters the authors created. I liked the different abilities and the dark and light aspects. Lena's powers were only touched upon, but were pretty cool nonetheless. 
 The reason this got 3 instead of 4 stars was that I didn't really care for the writing style. It was written in 'episodic' fashion, and I guess I'm not really a fan of that. It always seemed like just when we got somewhere it would cut off. Also, in the beginning I was annoyed with the 'connection' Ethan and Lena just 'had.' The reason why still wasn't revealed in the end, either. But, for as much as they had this 'instant connection', their relationship developed pretty slowly. I wished there would have been a bit more emotion displayed--but that's just a personal preference. 
 All in all, I will read the next one. I enjoyed this enough to be curious about what happens next!
