4.5 friggen stars. 
 I would have given it FIVE 5 stars but a favorite character of mine dies (view spoiler)[why the hell did they kill VARNIE-ugh! (hide spoiler)] I mean it was sooooooo messed up that I felt like picking up the book and slamming it against my wall until it somehow changes what had just happened. How is that fair! (view spoiler)[Varnie and Amelia had finally KISSED! They were suppose to be together--but no! Stupid author had to kill him off (hide spoiler)] Remind me when I become an author to never ever torture readers like this by killing off good characters! Gosh and I'd just read Bloodrose just last week! (view spoiler)[if you've read that you'd know that Ren dies in that one (hide spoiler)] 
 Why do the good die young. 
 Enough of my anger about that... let me tell you the good things. It's a pretty alright book. But be warned, if you're a hater of SAPPY ROMANCE NOVELS ABOUT A MAIN CHARACTER GIRL WHO CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT THE BOY stay far away from this book. I can tell you now you won't like it. She does say every once in a while that she can't live without Haden. They're love is pure. The first few pages are about LOVE. 
 The good thing I loved about this book is the imagery. The way Gwen Hayes explains Under, you would actually believed that such a place exists and that she had actually been there. I think that's what kept me reading and giving this book such a high rating because despite the SAPPY LOVE and SAD DEATH, I still pretty much loved Under. I loved everything about it. The part about the SNOW GLOBE was brilliant. Seriously... 
 So yeah, I'm wondering if Gwen Hayes is writing a third book. If she is, then it better be about (view spoiler)[VARNIE (hide spoiler)] coming back to life. 
 I'm serious.
