Book Description:
When Jenny
has the opportunity to spend the summer with her sister, a small slice of
freedom is all she's really hoping for when she has the opportunity to spend
the summer with her sister. Instead she finds something else altogether:
electricity.
That's what Jenny feels when she looks at Arram. She knows he’s drawn to her too, but the mage-in-training does his best to hide it.
Stung, Jenny turns to Arram's former best friend, Jack. But Arram and Jack's rivalry is much darker than Jenny suspects, and so are Jack's intentions. Soon she's caught in a mystery of old murder, ancient prophecies, and magic hidden where no one has thought to look.
When Jenny uncovers a secret magic, she is offered two choices. Arram wants her to do the safe thing. Jack wants to show her the easy way out. Whatever Jenny decides, her life will irrevocably change.
Either way, freedom may be the one thing Jenny can never have.

Take On The Book:
So, I
really wanted to rate this higher just because I really thoroughly enjoyed the
storyline and characters but something held me back from giving it a full 5
quills. It was an epic tale, one that I loved very much but there were some
slight inconsistencies and the main character Jenny was a bit slow so I had to
drop the rating down a tad.
Truthfully,
I was just a little lost in the beginning but that has more to do with the
speed then anything else. The writing was done really well as was the character
development. Once the story picked up
and the two main characters met I didn’t want to put the book down. I really
can’t say much as to the pros and cons because what I liked would definitely be
considered spoliers but I will say that this was one enjoyable read.

Excerpt
Jack put his finger to his lips and motioned toward an empty bedroom across the hall. Not knowing what else to do, she went in, her heart thudding against her ribs. “Jack,” she whispered. “What are you doing here? How did you get in?” “What? No welcome home kiss?” His voice was mocking. Trying to keep her voice steady, she said, “So Arram was right. You do want to kidnap me after all.” “Kidnap you?” Jack looked horrified. Underneath the horror though, Jenny could see that his eyes were sparkling with mischief. “I should have known Arram would fill your head with something stupid like that. No, you wonderful, impossible girl, I’m here to rescue you.”
