This book may be tons of excitement to some of you, but it only left me wondering why I picked it up in the first place. The best part of the book was toward the end where some action finally happened as the coven is trying to get to Evie, but even then it's over in a few pages, and breathtakingly droll. I found myself yelling at the book wondering why she couldn't put two and two together. The book is also broken up with journal entries of Lady Agnes, so we fully see and understand exactly what is going on, there is no mystery at all, and what is going to happen towards the end, while the main character doesn't.

Evie refers to him as stunningly handsome, but I just couldn't see it, nor could I grasp how she fell in love with him. There was nothing leading up to the obsessive nature of both Sebastian and Evie having to see each other repeatedly at night. Personally, I don't even follow the whole romance angle between Evie and Sebastian. When Evie first met Sebastian on her way to the boarding school, there is no gasp-this-guy-is-mysterious-and-hot factor at all. Evie's character, and the supporting characters, were detailed as to where a reader could envision them tromping through the moors, see the lake, the winding countryside, but when it came to their emotions or voices it seemed stifled, lacking any passion. I truly went into this book excited as the summary sounded like a good YA paranormal/romance book, but from the very beginning I found myself bored.
