Ohhhhh... oh my gosh.!!!!!!!! I .. That was so beautiful!!!!! I loved it. All the characters were great and I laughed and was shocked, was confused and very much blown away. I don't want to spoil anything but I will just mostly base this review on the characters and not the plot. 
 Emma Carstairs 
 Emma was a really awesome character. Parbati to Julian Blackthorn where she fall in love with him but it is forbidden. She is so strong and brave and kind and loving and funny. I loved her relationship with Mark and Julian as well as Christina. Emma is smart and I loved her from page 1. She is advantourous and takes risks 
 Mark Blackthorn 
 Mark was a complete surprise to me. I loved him. He was very funny and innocent and aww at the same time. Mark was taken away 5 years ago after the Dark War to Fairie and he is returned in this book but he is messed up. Mark is the eldest of the kids and when he was taken, Julian had to be the parent figure. I definitely liked Mark more than Julian but I also like Julian and all the characters that I am just one big mess. I may just be on the Mark and Emma ship? I am not too sure but by book 2 we will see. The strawberry scene at the resturant Lol. 
 Julian Blackthorn 
 Julian was awesome. I feel his burden that he has to carry and wow. He reminds me a bit of Jem and wow that end... Julian is an artist and a really good one at it. He loves his siblings very much and will do anything for them, which I admired. I also adored his and Emma's relationship. I hope everything turns out well. 
 Christina Rozales 
 I have never really fancied side kick girl characters, except maybe Isabell, but Christina was marvelous. She loved everyone and could fight too! She is from the Mexican inststute and left a relationship with a guy there. I loved Emma and Chris' friendship and I loved Mark and Christina's relationship. I felt all warm inside. I don't know how everything will turn out though because... 
 Anyway the plot was so twisty and it was one one helluva ride. I was entertained for every second and I could not predict what would happen next. There are also some new elements introduced. Oh and it had lots of humor!!! I will offically die waiting for book 2.
