review 1: WOW!!!! I had to read this when I noticed the Lifetime TV series was based on this book. STUPID network CANCELLED the show after just 2 seasons, leaving it on a cliffhanger to boot!! I loved that show, so I had to get my fix by reading this book.While reading, I pictured the actors/actresses cast in each role. I thought they got it RIGHT ON, but Joanna in the book is not described as beautiful as Julia Ormond. Wendy is not in the book though. A shame, as I love her character on the TV show.The series is pretty close to the book, more so than another novel adaptation (Under the Dome)I've watched lately. It has everything: Romance, suspense, magic, blackmail, mystery, humor, adventure, horror, and action. Like the show, it ended on a cliffhanger. But at least there'... mores a sequel to this, which I will read in the near future!I didn't know this was classified as a YA book, as I've seen some YA discussions on here. I think the book is too "mature" for YA readers, as it does have adult themes and language. Age 19 at least, like one of the characters. :-)
review 2: It started off slow, but still kept me interested. About three quarters of the way, it flipped from semi-normal to completely elaborate and mythical. Yes, it's supposed to be magical and whatnot, but it was a complete 180 in genre descriptions. The ending was anticlimactic for me because it just ended so suddenly without much excitement, but because there are two more books, I'm hoping it's for a good reason. I wish there was more details and events to the end. The last 30 pages of it could have easily been elaborated to create half the book. Hopefully the next two books don't end this way. less
