I received an ecopy of the book to read in exchange for my honest review! This is one of those books where you're utterly flummoxed at the end. You aren't confused, but you just keep saying wow...yeah...wow! This book grasps your attention by using the second person from the get-go, instantly putting the reader into the shoes of Grace. The constant use of "you did this, you did that, you felt this" drags you in, willingly or not, and plops you in the driver seat of Grace. Incredibly effective at getting you to engage with the story. That being said, after a little bit, I started to find it annoying. Perhaps I found it annoying because at times I wanted to shake Grace by her shoulders, but really...am shaking myself since I felt as if I were Grace? I DON'T KNOW! lol Like I said, incredibly effective way to make the reader engage instantly. There is a lot going on in this novel all centering around the twins, Grace and Jude, their grandmother that they had never met, and their past tragedy. The conversations and banter in this book are smooth, believable, dead on for teenage angst, growth, relationships, etc. Very well written! In fact, this played like a movie in my head...seamlessly streaming with vivid imagery. I could SEE that house, the grandmother, etc. I really liked this one and would definitely recommend it be added to your reading list! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
There is a book without a name. There is the night sky and flames. A girl burns alive and a secret binds six teens in silence. That's only the beginning. There's death, magic, intoxicating highs, terrifying lows, ravens that stalk, and boys that steal hearts for fun.In this spine-tingling second-person narrative tale, not even you will see the end coming.

The characters all seemed very broken, and a couple I still don't what's going on with them. I am pretty sure there is a lot happening that we don't know about yet. *cough*magic or something*cough*
This is a really hard review to write. It has been a while since a book has made my heart pound like this. Really. This book will definitely evoke feeling. Also there is that killer cliffhanger ending. There better be a second book...
The poor main character! She just does not get a break. I mean at the beginning her dad dies and it just goes from there. Another great aspect of this book was the narration. Instead of "I" or "Grace", the author uses "you". This type of unique narration really sucked me into Graces world.
The dialogue between characters flows incredibly well. In fact, the writing is flawless. Grace is very believable and the world she is in is vivid.
In this book there is the subject of Christianity. I do not know how it will come into play in the second book. It did add layers of suspense to the book.
All in all, this book was startling different and haunting. A total killer of a read! I would recommend it to older teens searching for a heart gripping read.
I do not know if the description does justice to the book. I think this book is more focused on Grace and the accident with her Dad than anything else.
Wow, this has been the hardest book to rate. It was so unique though!
4.8/5 stars
I'm still not sure on this rating! So conflicted... this is a really high rating for me.
