This book follows Blue and her adventures with the boy (and his friends) she’s supposed to kill with her kiss. This sound like a love story, however it’s more so about the boys and his fascination with the bazaar happenings in their small Virginia town, where they learn of the magic that lies along a lay line.
I loved this story when I read it years ago, the magic was intresting without feeling impossible and the characters reaction to it was so realistic. Everything was written in a way that makes you feel as though I was experiencing it as well as the characters. This made me very happy.
The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that it’s almost impossible for someone (like myself) who feels the need to skip over long texts at a time, especially because the book is describing a tiny objects in excruciating detail. I only got through the entire series because I was listening to it in audio form.
