Comment
Add a CommentI had a very good time reading this book. Regardless of the swearing (which actually was a lot) it was an appropriate teen book. What I liked about this book is that there wasn't any alcohol using, people having sex, or any bad messages. Not like high school teen books nowadays that authors fill with inappropriate actions so the book gets to be bestselling (which bugs me a lot if it does). I liked all the characters, but the only issue I had is that I figured out centuries ago that it wasn't Talia who did it, because guilty people always wait for the moment when their plan succeeds so they can impress the other person how they did it, and that he lost which is what Talia didn't do. I give this book 6.5/10.
