Summary (Taken from the Goodreads Website):
Mysterious doors with lizard-head knobs. Talking stone statues. A crazy girl with a hatchet. Yes, Liv's dreams have been pretty weird lately. Especially the one where she's in a graveyard at night, watching four boys conduct dark magic rituals.
The strangest part is that Liv recognizes the boys in her dream. They're classmates from her new school in London, the school where she's starting over because her mom has moved them to a new country (again). But what's really scaring Liv is that the dream boys seem to know things about her in real life, things they couldn't possibly know--unless they actually are in her dreams? Luckily, Liv never could resist a good mystery, and all four of those boys are pretty cute....
Reaction:
First of all, let me start by saying that I absolutely love Kerstin Gier's writing. I've read her Precious Stone trilogy (and it was fantastic, let me tell you) and this book was no less fantastic. Kerstin Gier's writing is just so easy and wonderful to read! Everything she writes is perfect for a rainy day! All her books are fast paced, light, romantic, and funny! Basically they are the perfect chick lit read.
I also feel it is necessary to point out that the cover of this book (and all of her other books) are lovely. They not only fit with what the book is about, but they look awesome while doing it!
Characters:
Liv:
Liv was hilarious and so easy to relate to! When her mom was going through her "romancy" stage with her "boyfriend" Liv acted exactly how I would have acted, upset and rudely. Now, this doesn't mean that Liv is a rude and upset person, because she's not. Liv is actually very funny, serious, and kind-of nosey. I really liked Liv and can't wait to see her in the next books!
The Other Boys:
There are so many of them that I don't want to talk about each one of them, so I'm going to talk about them as a whole. The boy group in this book is very tight knit and each person is unique in their own way. For example: Henry (my favorite) is very sweet and caring, while Grayson is very caring and concerned, while Jasper is just a special cutie. I really enjoyed reading about each and every one of them.
Overall:
This book was very, very good. There are some things that I thought could have been a little better (hence the four out of five stars), but overall this book was a definite win! I will definitely be continuing this series in the future (once the other two books in the series are translated!) I recommend this book to pretty much anyone with eyes or a sense of humor.
Peace out Girl scouts! -Terantum
