I love books about sisters! This story was interesting to read. I love the family drama. The family has been cursed because of their monarch, Augusta. When 17 year old Nikki brings a boy home everyone knows it's time to tell her about the curse. Unfortunately, her mother, Victoria is not ready for her to grow up. When Nikki seeks help from her Aunt Willow it drives a rift between the sisters. Augusta watching the fallout knows she needs to tell the family her secret. Then Madeline, Willow and Victoria's mother shows up unannounced after being absent for 10 years. DRAMA!

While I found this book interesting & at times intriguing, I did not find it compelling enough to eat it up as quickly as I could have. I thought it was interesting and I liked the characters but I think it just lacked a certain spark that I can’t really identify.
