My Review
Izzie has been noticing her best friend, Branna, has been kind of off lately she thinks that she can make her happy by using some magic, but instead of helping her friend she accidentally ends up taking it herself.
Mark is Izzie's boyfriend he is just perfect in her eyes and she doesn't want to give him up at all but, she can't stand him anymore either.
Tristan just waltz's into Izzie's life and she couldn't hate him more for her loving him.
Izzie finds out the true reason why Tristan came into her life shortly after the potion incident, and realizes she has a quest before her that even her father couldn't finish.
This was my first ARC and I requested it on NetGalley, I was afraid I wouldn't like it at all, the description was ok, but it had horrible rating.... I downloaded it yesterday into the kindle and could not understand why no one has enjoyed it enough for it to only reach 2 stars.
I, for one, loved this book. It was by far one of the best ones I've read this year. There was somethings that was off like, Izzies mom asked Tristan where he was staying, which was on the streets! And she did nothing for him to stay there she just let her daughter boss her.
Izzie now, can seem rude but really you just took a love potion accidentally and find out your going to love this one person forever? Wouldn't you be a little bit irritable too?
Brenna, she annoyed me. end of story.
I savored every single page, it kept you surprised and wanting more.
My Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
