I loved the different take on the supernatural. not only is it historical, but its also nothing like ive read before. theres a great use of characters and different personalities, but Angelini has worked it so that its not confusing. i love helena. i think shes great. she annoyed me at the beginning, when she thought she wasnt pretty or worth anyones time, but once we understand that she has a reason for it all then we understand. 
 its not a typical boy meets girl. boy and girl fall in love. its boy meets girl and they try and kill eachother. literally. i know alot of stories will have the boy and girl not fall in love immediately, but this is different. 
 i was unhappy with ending, of course we want them to be together. i cant help comparing this relationship to clarey and jase from mortal instruments? who think they are brother and sister but also love eachother? 
 ive given it 5 stars as i think it is original and i wana know what happens next, i just hope the next one wont change my mind. :-) :-)
