I really and truly expected something completely different to what this book delivered. I honestly thought this book was going to be much more about the magic and mystery elements, which was why I was so keen to pick it up. The premise sounded so promising! And in truth, I did enjoy those elements. However, I felt like this book was far more about the Gossip Girl or Secret Diamond Sisters style high school and teenage drama, which is shame. I doubt I will bother to read a sequel, though I can appreciate why for others this book holds strong appeal.
