I love that this book had some meat to it. I have been reading so many shorter books lately so it was nice to change it up and go for a 400 page plus book. You really have more of a chance to get to know all of the characters and the build up and secrets are so much cooler! I really enjoyed this book and I know Im going to love following the Bonfire Academy series as well as the Bonfire Chronicles series. 
 I feel like Faustine is going to start taking a more central role in the books. I hope she has some character growth in the next one, because while I did like her, I just wasn't too please with some of her changes towards the end of the book. She started to get a little bit of a cocky edge to her. I hope she still remains somewhat nice. I am super curious to learn more about the secrets that surround her. There was a nice little buildup and even by the very end of the book it's still very mysterious. 
 While I like Faustine, I LOVE Cordelia. I really hope she remains a main character in the chronicles series. I have to know what is going to happen between her and Quinn and Jagger. It's not even really a love story because nothing really happened. Both guys are super nice and sweet. Quinn in so trusting. He never once suspected anything was going on between Cordelia and Jagger and he never once got jealous. It was a little anti-climactic in that regard. I mean, come on, in a school of this size everyone seems to know everyone else's business. But somehow it was totally secret that Jagger and Cordelia were all of a sudden together way more than normal. It was a little strange. Hopefully the relationships will pick up in the next book. It's hard for me to say who I like for Cordelia. I just love Jagger, but Quinn is awesome. He was ALWAYS there for Cordelia and never once complained or put up a fuss. It was a little unrealistic. He is a demon after all, he shouldn't be quite so giving and nurturing. Perhaps if he was more like a normal demon I could pick Jagger over him more easily? 
 Overall, the storyline is excellent. It pulls you right into the world of this cool boarding school brimming with paranormals. I liked how realistic the setting was. The fact of the matter is, if you get enough young paranormals together, who don't all get along by the way, there are bound to be some mishaps and fights. I also appreciated how hard control was for some of them. I have read a few books where you see shifters and vampires with a surprising control over their baser instincts and it is not always too realistic. There were a few instances of choppy writing at the beginning and the relationship development could use a little work on the realistic front. But this is a great story!! I can't wait for the second book to come out. I actually want to read it right now. I don't want to wait!
