This is my first book from Shanora and I must say I am impress!! I love how Shanora made the healing process of Natalie breakup to Bryson believable. I think many people who was once in love with someone (especially their first) and to breakup with them went through what Natalie went through. Even though it was annoying at times it was real. For some reason I was not connected to any of the characters, dont get me wrong Natalie and Nolan are great characters I just was not connected to them. BUT I will read book 2 because I am curious to see what happens next and hopefully I will connect to the characters more.
