This is my first story by author Jane Abbott and it definitely won't be the last. I just fell in love with this book and couldn't get enough of it.

From the first page I was drawn in, Abbott's writing is simply fascinating and unique. I found the characters to be intriguing, fun and easy to connect with.

Everything just flowed so well together, with vivid detail you get lost within the pages.

This book is just amazing and I highly recommend picking up a copy. ^_^

Such an engrossing read! Beautifully written, with a seductive storyline that weaves between high fantasy and realism. A novel that gives us ancient, star-crossed love and raw, young desire. I note that this is categorised as 'YA crossover' as the are some very sensual, very arousing love scenes.

Sixteen year old Jenny moves to small town, Kincasey, a result of her parents' marriage problems. She is a pit of resentment, an innocent victim in the wake of her parents' failings. Being the new city girl in town was always going to be difficult. Then Jenny meets the Webster boys Michael and Gabe, and their highly unusual sister, Caitlin. As though driven by fate, she becomes indelibly involved in their lives and the strange change and awakening of Michael under the protective, obsessive watch of Caitlin.
