4.5 stars.

I'm loving this fun and fast-paced middle grade series. The writing and creativity style reminds me a little of the Sinister Summer series by Kiersten White, but with a bit more of a serious tone. The imagery is really well done and the plot moves very smoothly. There is some really great foreshadowing and enough action to keep the reader's attention from start to finish. A good and strong female protagonist with a kind heart and an ability to recognize her failures and short-comings that makes her a great role model. I'm looking forward to the next read. Highly recommend.
