Tandy decides that she will have to clear the family name, but digging deeper into her powerful parents' affairs is a dangerous -- and revealing -- game. Who knows what the Angels are truly capable of?
When this book first came out, I was really excited to get
my hands on it. It took awhile, but I finally read it.
I must say – I was pretty disappointed.
It seemed pretty cheesy to me most of the time. I didn’t
take a liking to any of the characters, and it was just pretty hard to connect
with. I get that it was targeted to a young adult audience, but in a way it
just seemed almost childish.
It never really hooked me at any time. The plot was interesting,
but the execution just didn’t really do it for me. It was okay enough to get
through and finish, but it wasn’t great by any means and didn’t live up to what
I hoped it would be.
I was also expecting some great twist at the end when
everything was revealed, but we didn’t even get that.
