This is the first New Adult book I've read and LOVED it!!! The cover draws you in and the fantasy setting Wade depicts is very believable--I felt like I was in the story alongside the characters. Kate, the main protagonist, was someone you could really root for as she learns of her prophecy and how to fight, but all the sub characters were done really well, too. The romantic conflicts were, of course, my fav part. So much sexual tension between Kate and . . . well, you'll have to read it and find out for yourself! *Applause for Krystal Wade, can't wait for book #2*
