Mostly to ...I like to shriek in all caps a lot too. Mostly to emphasise my point. You know, like... YOU HAVE TO FINISH HARRY POTTER!!! (It works! Are you convinced yet?!? I bet your convinced!) I ended up LOVING it, despite the fact that I struggled at first and for sure thought it was going to be a 3/5 read. I just got sucked into the story and couldn't put it down. <br /><br />The romance. Maybe it is insta-love. They technically know each other for barely any time before that word is probably used. BUT it never feels like it. Like with Aria and Perry, you actually feel like you have watched two characters get to know one another and fall for one another. <br /><br />The UK one doesn't really tell you anything about the story. The US one is definitely better for that and I think I prefer it for that reason.

I think I need this book in my life. I particularly like it when books don't 1000% focus on the romance, but there's actually a plot as well. Don't get me wrong, I like romance, I just find it disconcerting when that's ALL that happens in the person's life. Boring. Magic though, magic is awesome. I love the US cover more I think. The UK one kind of makes me think it's a contemporary??
