Finished in one day! Not too lengthy of a read in my opinion and I loved it! I wasn't sure of what to expect going in at first but it started off strong and had really great character development. I loved River's relationship with her aunt, and the love interest Jackson. This book also did a good with displaying the emotional trauma of being a rape victim, dealing with depression, ect. The ending was good build up for book 2. Can't wait for the next!

Werewolves, Feys, and Twilight! Oh, My!

This story is a nice introduction. I like how River was thrown into this lifestyle. It's a good young adult read.
