Shocked that he recognizes her as his own pretend play pal, the two embark on a quest to solve the mystery of their fantasized companionship. And as they unravel their entwined destinies, Alena realizes she holds the key to a curse which could free them all - or condemn witchkind to eternal suffering.

Picks up at the end

I enjoyed this book - it was a bit slow at first - wasn't sure where it was leading, but after a while, it picked up. I loved the sweetness between Hunter and Alena, and the interesting twist at the end. Lots of teen angst in this one, some about boys, some about friends, but mostly about being different and Alena finding and embracing her own uniqueness. The narrator did a good job of not making it over the top and was good at playing a range of different characters and ages. She gave each character a different voice, and really made the characters and emotions come alive. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series - it kind of left on a cliffhanger. :)
