Summary: What if you found a peep hole into another world? For seventeen year old Gigi Storme, that’s exactly how it feels, every time she holds certain mysterious objects at Mr. Whitley’s Junk Emporium. Gigi is different. How and why, she doesn’t know or understand, but she feels it. 

So does everybody else.

Gigi’s life is about to change forever,  with a clandestine meeting of a stranger she has longed to meet and an attack upon Mr. Whitley, her only friend.  These events bring to light the truth that Gigi is from a magickal realm.  In this new world she must face unexpected betrayal, learn to love, and undergo a series of magickal initiations to unlock her own abilities.  

Gigi will confront an unknown, but hauntingly familiar enemy with devastating powers, and she must overcome her own dark heritage in the process. 

Gigi will finally discover exactly what it is about her that is different, and how it could be the very thing that saves her and everyone around her.  Where and who she comes from will have less to do with where she'll end up, than her own choices...

My Thoughts:  This book was a wonderful magical story. The characters and scenery flowed off the page into my head to create a magical image of Gigi’s world. Dispite the fact it was written in 3rd person I was very much effected by the emotions the characters thought to themselves. The book had an unexpected ending that left me begging for the next book in the series. Bethany Greenier did an amazing job of writing out an intense love story and every other relationship within the book. Several times throughout the book I could feel my heart bend as my favorite characters went through pain, loss, and many other vividly described details and emotions.

In the end the book’s great writing, characters, and plot line left me begging for more of the wonderful land created within the pages.

Overall Rating: 5/5
