This book screwed with my head big time. It has been three days since I finished it and I am still not sure what to say. It definitely wasn't what I expected it to be. I really love things like hidden locations and archaeological digs and the mystery that surrounds those situations. Like, the Romonav family in Russia in 1918. I love those things. So, I wasn't expecting the fantasy aspect.

Anouk is bitter, mean and all around a horrible person to be around. I wasn't able to form a connect with her through out the entirety of the book. Anouk doesn't have a great family life, so when she receives a letter in the mail for this historical dig she jumps at the opportunity to leave home. From the moment she met the other teens she would be working with (Will, Lilly, Jules, and Hayden) she finds something to hate about each of them. Though I didn't like Anouk, she did warm up towards her small group of friends at the end of the novel.

Most time characterization is everything to me. If I don't like the main character I won't finish the book (most time.) But the plot was intriguing and a page turner, so continued on. Reading this in the dead of night wasn't the brightest idea. I frighten easily and there were several scenes in A Drop of Night that sent chills down my spine.

I can't talk much about this book with out ruining it. It runs big on the mystery. Overall I did like A Drop of Night enough to continue on with it. But, if I had a choice to read this book again I wouldn't.
