A modern, magical twist on the Gothic Romance and Girl Detective genres, this book will appeal to fans of both Beautiful Creatures and the Mortal Instruments series. Reviewers have praised the take-charge heroine and the spellbinding romance.
Bound together. Worlds apart.
Kami Glass is in love with someone she's never met—a boy she's talked to in her head since she was born. This has made her an outsider in the sleepy English town of Sorry-in-the-Vale, but she has learned ways to turn that to her advantage. Her life seems to be in order, until disturbing events begin to occur. There has been screaming in the woods and the manor overlooking the town has lit up for the first time in 10 years. . . . The Lynburn family, who ruled the town a generation ago and who all left without warning, have returned. Now Kami can see that the town she has known and loved all her life is hiding a multitude of secrets—and a murderer. The key to it all just might be the boy in her head. The boy she thought was imaginary is real, and definitely and deliciously dangerous.

Sarah Rees Brennan never fails to amaze me. This book is yet another instant favorite. I love these characters and the little town in England. There was so much to discover in this world and I loved learning every part. The story unfolded at a perfect pace with just the right amount of mystery and intrigue. I'm still in shock with how it ended and I'm beyond looking forward to the next installment, even though I know it will take me a while to actually pick it up.
The main character, Kami, was so interesting to read and learn about in this book. She wasn't a quiet, scared, or boring female lead. She had strong intentions for her family and friends. She was the type of girl that would sneak into buildings to get stories for her school newspaper.
When you learn about Kami having someone in her mind, it is really interesting because Jared seems so sweet. The reader doesn't know much about his past in the beginning. I really enjoyed this book because of the connection that Jared and Kami had in their minds. When Kami finally meets Jared, he is completely different than I imagined but once you heard that there was a new kid named Jared in town; I knew it was him.
This story has lots of twists and turns between the two main characters and also with the story they are trying to crack together. When the reader learns about his family, it makes sense. I really enjoyed this book but the end leaves you with a raging cliff hanger! I know the second one is out so I will probably pick that up sometime soon. I must know what happens with Kami and Jared!
