This book is incredibly good. It was written smoothly and has a great plot. if I could I would give it 6 stars. I recommend this book very highly. It is worth buying and when you start reading it you won't be able to put it down. This book isn?t magic, but more of a light mystery and light action. I can?t think of words to describe how I felt when I finished this book. It was very good!
