My Thoughts



What if you lived in a world where the paranormal was normal?


I really enjoyed the unique premise of this book and the well thought out world. Living in a world where being normal is looked down upon is definitely a twist. The author handled the different paranormal aspects really well.


The romance was nicely done and very sweet, but it didn't take up the entire story which I really liked. I could definitely feel the chemistry between the characters.


I also liked how the theme of growing up and finding yourself was dealt with. You could really relate to Cassie and most of all I really liked her courage to be herself and to live her own life outside of the expectations of everyone else.


The family dynamics in the story were also very interesting and I enjoyed seeing how Cassie interacted with them.


Mystery and suspense were prevalent throughout the story and had me on the edge of my seat as I tried to figure out what was going on right along with Cassie.


This is a fun and interesting new twist on the paranormal and I highly recommend it!
