2 stars - Fantasy Romance

I know Wildest Dreams and the Fantasyland series is popular with a lot of KA fans. I wanted to love this, but unfortunately, it was a big disappointment for me. *Sigh*

Even though it's a fantasy, it still had the same style and issues typical of Kristen Ashley's books.

We are introduced to a parallel universe that resembles medieval times, where every person from this world has a "twin" there. Finnie, the heroine, is a thrill seeker, and when she discovers the existence of that parallel world, she decides that visiting it for a while would be a great adventure.
