At the words Edgar Allan Poe, this book had me extremely interested. Also, I haven't read a good paranormal book in a while, and I've been very back and forth with all the new books lately. So I thought that this would do the trick to slip into the past! And do the trick it did!

It took me a little bit to really get into this because I kept wanting Varen and Isobel to get together and have some real conversations! However when they were together, I loved it so much!!! What I loved best about this book was there was some great mystery and a whole lot of cool weirdness. I love weird!

The writing was so addictive, too! There were people I wanted to slap in the book like freaking Brad, and there were people I wanted to hug, like Gwen, Isobel, and Varen. Oh, especially Varen! I think I would have given this book ten start if I'd had his POV!! And seriously, that cliffhanger was so soul clenching! I'm starting book two right now!
