I wasn't sure what exactly this book was going to be about when I first started it. My friend had been bugging me to read this for over a year, and with the movie being released soon, I caved and read it. All that I can say is that I am so happy for my friend right now. It was an awesome book, and I am so happy that I finally picked this up!

For those of you that didn't know this is a book about witches, or as they prefered to be called, Casters. There was a lot of mystery surrounding the characters and who they really are, which made it really interesting. The main characters weren't completely sure about their powers and what they are, so you were finding out right along with them. Also, something that set this book aside from many other YA books, is that this is narrated by a guy! And this guy isn't the Caster. I loved this book for that reason also. Normally you see books narrated by the character that is the 'different' person, but this book is told from the POV of just another highschool guy.

Ethan was a character that I would be friends with. He loves to read, and is just one of those people that I'd talk to. Lena is the new girl, and she's a really intruiging character. In the beginning she's mysterious and eerie, but as Ethan (and we) get to know her, you'll come to love her.

I love how there is the perfect amount of mystery, romance, fantasy, and action. The authors did a great job writing this book, especially at the end where the narration switches to Lena for a few pages!! Overall, a GREAT book, for lovers of fantasy, and mystery! So excited to continue on with the series!!!
