I loved this book. It was action packed from the beginning and kept me guessing throughout. I really enjoyed Sémya's boards that she created to help visualize her theories. I also enjoyed how Polliannah would dress Sémya up for her dates with Josh. I really want to know what secrets Josh is keeping and more about Polliannah's new beau, John. There were twists and turns and even some romance. This book had everything. I can't wait to read more about Sémya and find out the answers to my lingering questions.

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.This book was action packed from the beginning. Hazel was kidnapped from her home by a creature with wings that called her Meara and taken to the home of Lucian in the Realm. The Realm is a kind of alternate reality, or parallel world, where there is no technology. Hazel escapes Lucian’s house with the help of a cat and makes her way through a forest to a cabin where she meets Arden. Even though they feel an instant chemistry, Arden helps her escape the Realm. Back in her own world, Hazel makes her way to her parents home with her best friend, Tavi. Once there, Hazel learns that she was adopted, and that Lucian is her birth father, Meara is her half-sister. Hazel also learns that Lucian plans to sacrifice Meara to retain his immortality. Then the race is on to find Meara and keep her safe from Lucian.
I really enjoyed this book. It was a fast-paced adventure and even had a bit of a love triangle. I found it fascinating the way the author created the Realm world and had the characters rushing between worlds. Hazel’s sidekicks, Tavi and the cat, were funny and supported Hazel unconditionally. The author showed a great amount of imagination in creating the Realm and all the different creatures. I was a little disappointed with the ending. It seemed rushed and left me with quite a few questions left. Overall, I would love to read more about these characters and this world.

Lily and Grayson are best friends that find themselves falling for each other. Grayson tries to push Lily away from him, he thinks he’s not good enough for her. Lily does everything she can to get Grayson to notice her as something other than a friend. When Grayson finally admits to Lily that he loves her and they have a relationship, she breaks up with him so he will pursue his dreams of writing music and singing by going to college in California. The ups and downs of their relationship had me reaching for the tissues throughout the book. I was really frustrated by both Lily and Grayson pushing each other away. And boy is there a cliffhanger. I need the next book. I need to know what happens. And I need to know now. So, if you enjoy the kind of book that tugs the heart strings and leaves you wanting more, definitely read this book. It was one of the best books I’ve read so far in 2013.
