Book Blurb:
"Am I losing my mind?"
Paige couldn't help but question her sanity. What other explanation could there be for her hearing a conversation held barely above a whisper in the back of a classroom full of students? What about coming home to find one of those very classmates lying in wait in the darkness of her home, ready to attack her?
Confused, frustrated and feeling every ounce of her social ostracism, Paige confides in the one person she's always been able to count on: her mom. But when her mom reveals a deeply rooted, unbelievable family secret, Paige discovers her world is filled with more than she ever imagined possible. A world where fairytales live alongside nightmares and secrets are the glue that binds them together. Suddenly no one is who they seem and Paige is faced with more questions than answers. Can she survive in a world filled with creatures scarier than anything she could imagine and where deceit runs as thick as blood? Or will the truth send her over the edge?

Angie J's Review:
I was given this book for a blog tour/ARC review.
When I picked this book for my blog I was really excited about a YA Paranormal series. I am not a huge YA reader but thought it sounded like a great read. I was really excited with how the book began. The story jumped right in and there was a lot of action. I loved it. Paige is a 17 year old half Fae and possible half werewolf??? Cool right? I am a huge Paranormal reader and when I read this half and half connection I was like "AWESOME!!!"
The book however started to slow down a lot when Paige and her mother go to visit the world Paige's mother had been banished from. I am keeping my comments brief because I don't want to spoil anything. When Paige and her mother return to her mothers home world everything went from 90 mph to 9 mph. The author spent a lot of time describing everything and setting up the world. Now since this is the first book in a series, I understand world building but for me it actually was toooo much. I started to lose interest a bit until you meet Naialah. I was like "Damn she is a kick ass....I don't know what she is!!" I liked the fact that she is such an interesting character. I was a bit surprised to read about the feelings Paige is developing for Naialah. I am not against any f/f novels at all but in a YA I found that to be a bit risqué.
This novel has a lot missed signals for poor Paige. It seems she can't really trust anyone and everyone isn't who them claim to be. I look forward to reading book 2 in the series to see what happens.
