+15 This one is different because it really just focuses on dark magic and basically satanic rituals. (like not really, but kind of) Also has lots of sexual tension/pining, kissing, and some sort of scene (or at least it's assumed to be a scene, I think) Look if your little cousin is looking for a wholesome fantasy novel, turn away, this one isn't it.

First, I have to say that the cover of Lakesedge is simply stunning. It's both gothic and gorgeous; so kudos to the cover designer. The cover did not disappoint when compared to the thematic elements of the book, it truly was the perfect YA gothic fantasy novel (although I definitely thought that this book was about vampires and It was not)

It was a little hard to understand the characters' motives and thoughts behind why they did certain things, however, it didn't really take away from the book (just caused me a whole lot of agony). This book wasn't bad...in fact, it was quite fun and intriguing. I was able to read it fairly quickly. However, I will say the ending was kind of annoying, (cliffhanger) because it's a duology. And since I'm writing this after having read the second one, I can tell you the entire ending/second book was completely useless to me. So, buckle up because the ride you've entered by reading Lakesedge is about to get a whole lot messier.
