2.5 if that
I was more excited to read this book than I was while reading it. It started out great but then it fell short in so many areas that I was pretty agitated by the end.

I do like the glimpses into Lett's feelings when you definitely see her battling with herself. I felt the book was a bit repetitive in how Lett and Rosie kept justifying to themselves why they had to fight for one reason or the other.

The sisterly love was great and I loved the idea of the one heart split between the sisters.

I didn't feel like they built up the romance between Rosie and Silas well enough to make me really think there was a reason there for the romance other than just physical attraction. I mean come on - give me something more to dig into..and onto the underage girl with 21 year old guy. I personally really don't care - but I know this will likely catch a lot of flack. The reality is - this really does happen all the time.

Quick list of things that bugged me, the classes she took (really?), the red capes ( modern fairy tale - this seems out of place), the money (no way could they survive on only pawning stuff), oh and did I mention the insta-love...yeah I guess I did. Ok, so even with all that - I thought Jackson Pearce does show definite potential to someday write books I will read - so I'm open to reading more, I hope I'm not being too harsh.

However, the last third of the book was so obvious I just wanted it to be done. I am sad that I didn't like it more. I really would want to read the next book Sweetly because I really try to give new authors a chance but now I don't think I will unless I win a copy or check it out from the library - but its so low on my list that the chances of that are slim to nil.
