Synopsis:
Lilli sees things no one else does.
Desperate to make sense of the dreams and visions that have plagued her since childhood, Lilli confides in Devin, her closest friend, and the boy she’s fallen for.
Instead of questioning her sanity, Devin confesses to secrets of his own, which are far darker. His revelations about magic, witches and demons stun Lilli. But it’s what he knows about Lilli’s mother, long believed to be dead, that leaves her feeling betrayed. Despite her anger, Lilli will have to learn to trust Devin again, because he is the only one who can protect her from a dark danger that’s coming for her from a world away.

MY REVIEW
I enjoyed the parts of this book that took part in the
magical world. The imagery of the world was beautiful, the magic was enthralling,
and the action was exciting. I just wish there was more of the book that took
part in the magical world.
The main character Lilli has suffered a lot and I found
myself sympathizing with her. I liked Devin, the love interest in this book.
However, he was a bit too mysterious to me and there were a few times where he was just a little over the top with
his protectiveness.
I loved the scene where Lilli finally experiences her
magical abilities. I always like it when characters are all of a sudden able to
do something. I love it when stronger bad characters try to do harm to or take
advantage of the newbies and then get what’s coming to them.
I think future books could be exciting. While I wished for
more time in the magical world, it isn’t to say that the time outside of that
world was bad or boring. It just wasn’t as exciting. The book just became more
riveting once the characters were in the magical world. I look forward to book 2 and learning what all Lilli is
capable of doing.
Please note that I was given a copy of this book in exchange for my review.
