About the Author:

My Thoughts:

This book starts off with Madison going to a party with her best friend Kaylee. We find out that Madison and her ex Kevin had broken up a few months beforehand (he moved), and everybody assumes that she all sad because of it. When they get to the party, Madison feels an immediate attraction to Kaylee's boyfriend, Josh's, new neighbor. When she even touches him, she receives a shock.

They almost immediately start dating, and soon after she gets asked out by Mark, a guy that she only feels on the friend basis with (read: Friendzoned). He gives her a necklace that she doesn't want, but she ends up keeping it, anyway, just to 'hold on to it'. She gives it to Kaylee to wear, because she wants nothing to do with it.

Then, it starts. Kaylee goes through hallucinations, seemingly randomly, and Madison needs to find out how and why. Duhn,duhn, duuuuhhhnnnn!

So, I really liked this book (yes, I know I say that a lot, but that's a good thing)!

I thought that the characters were thought out very well, as in I didn't have any questions about them, or any missing in translation information that I needed or wanted to know. The scenes and visuals were great, too! I easily felt like I was there, in the book, and that's how it should be when you're reading a good book.

You all know how I'm (kind of) a hard case when it comes to grammar and spelling mistakes in books that I read (just read nearly all of my reviews), and I can say that I have no complaints from this book. There was absolutely no mistakes that I saw, so I'd say: "Grammar police, this book is for you!"

For those of you who like books that you want to read all night and not put down, this is also a book for you. When I had to eat dinner, I didn't even stop reading... A hard thing to do, but I did it nonetheless. So.... book you don't want to out down: check.

So, a lot of reviews that I've read on this book, the reviewers said that they couldn't wait for the second book. I actually didn't know that this book was in a series (if it is), and I'd have to say that I liked the way it ended. If more was added, as in a new book via series, then I'd think that that was stretching out the book (like some authors we know who waits twenty-some-odd-years to write the final book in a series, but works on other series' books that ended just fine). I mean, all of the loose ends were tied nicely, in a little bow, and it went smoothly.

But the end of this book did leave me with ONE question: Where did THAT come from??? The part I'm talking about is in the last paragraph in the last chapter, on the last page. I was just completely confused on the whole matter: Is she imagining them, or is she making his magic symbolize those?

Well anyway, I, of course, gave this book five hearts.
