Are you ready for another review? I sure hope so! I found this book while I was searching for free books on my nook. I spend hours searching the thousands of free books. I will admit it, I'm a freebie junkie. This one caught my attention. The cover is compelling, the synopsis sounded interesting and let's face it, the price was right. FREE! You can't beat that. I love it when I find free books that are pretty amazing. I feel like I've discovered some buried secret treasure, which is what the Author is trying to do, but frankly I really don't care. I'm an addict remember!

I enjoyed this book immensely. I found the story intriguing, full of magic and mystery, tragedy and turmoil. The characters are likeable and relatable. This book was easy to get lost in.
