I love that it has that fairytale atmosphere and the writing sounds beautiful. <br /><br />I'm searching for a copy for this as I type! Well, when I finish typing. Either way, I'm excited.

The cover is catching, but I always wonder when the cover of the book doesn't seem to tie in so well with the story.TheBookGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04299629066975342607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1077975888449897657.post-84813816148829985832011-08-12T21:00:28.672-04:002011-08-12T21:00:28.672-04:00Oh.My.God.

It was just enough to make me reach for the money and pound my way to a bookstore. If it weren't for my freaking straightener dying I would! (dang beauty products. I know I don't technically <i>need</i> them but ugh. I do. I really do.)<br /><br />I liked your cover comments too. I personally think the cover is freaking awesome. <br /><br />♥ TrishAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1077975888449897657.post-90200784519822105922011-08-12T13:57:30.038-04:002011-08-12T13:57:30.038-04:00Spooky fairy tale?

Lexi and "the boy who seems to fade like smoke" -- why say Cole when that sounds so awesome? -- sound like great characters. And I love how washed-out and faded the cover seems.

I'm also very interested in this Cole person - ahh I wanna read it! :P Great review, Sonia.Liz. Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14946301117581700393noreply@blogger.com
