While this is definitely Young Adult, it was really trying hard to be a sexy, magical version of something more grown up - but in the best way possible for the youngsters! I would let my teenage daughters read this… The story had enough little twisty turns to keep you captivated & while the ending felt a bit rushed, it was definitely leading somewhere to hook you in for that second installment. 

Last thoughts on a purely aesthetic level, the book covers are beautiful & I’m a sucker for a good cover for my shelves.
