Quick and easy read! Just what I was looking for and needed during the school semester going on right now. Beware those that aren't a fan of adult novels though this is a very adult novel ha. Eugenie, the main character, has her way (multiple times) in this book. I enjoyed the plot of the story as well though based on how Eugenie really comes about finding herself as a person as well as her past. Richelle Mead is an amazing author who tends to keep the same type of character traits in her stories. For example if you've read The Vampire Academy (teen novel) then Dorian is a very Adrian like character, and KiYo is a very Dimitri like character. Meaning that you'll end up falling in love with them both ;)
