Luce begins her first day at Sword and Cross, a reform school, and feels lost until she sets eyes on Daniel Grigori. Suddenly she feels like she is home and has known him all of her life. He insists he does not know her and tries to push her away at every opportunity. Meanwhile, Luce is trying to come to terms with the reason she has had to come to Sword and Cross. She was involved in another student’s death at her previous school and knows that her weird visions had something to do with it, but she maintains her innocence to anyone who questions her about the incident. She meets some unusual students at the school and finds she has no real allegiance to any of them when Daniel is present. Can she find out why she is so drawn to him and yet why he is so determined to keep her away?
This fantasy mystery story will appeal to the Twilight and City of Bones readers. There are no vampires in the story, but the romance is compelling as it plays out. The story has a unique nature that many fantasy stories do not and the characters are colorful and memorable. Beware that there is a sequel in the works and the story is not resolved by this book’s end. A must read for fantasy/romance lovers.
Young Adult Book Reviews 
First, I would say that it is good to have some sort of satisfactory conclusion to any book, even if there is a sequel in the works. Each book should stand alone. All seven Harry Potter books do.
Second, I am delighted that people see that a non-vampire book can be very engaging. Kudos to the author!
Finally, I invite everyone to visit my blog and leave a comment. Thanks!
