As the first review that I have posted on this blog, this novel ended up being the perfect choice. This novel had everything that a reader could ask for.... A heroine who doesn't need saving, but feels like she can save herself, recognizable musical references, a love triangle with major complications, and a love interest with a Scottish accent. Another thing it also had to keep readers turning its pages late into the night was the multiple mishaps that the main character, Aura, runs into throughout the novel. Unlike some novels that keep all the mishaps and incidents to the end of the book, which always keeps me stopping in the middle of the story, this novel keeps you turning the pages, wondering what will happen next. Jeri Smith-Ready did a wonderful job with the writing style and the references that were used. I know I got excited at points when I recognized a reference and if it was a song, which most of the time it was, I would want to open up iTunes or YouTube and listen to the song to see how the characters were feeling. When I previously said that I hoped that this novel would be just as good as Jeri Smith-Ready's novel, Wicked Game, I wasn't sure if I would be proved right, but this novel exceed my expectations. I am glad that this was the book that I randomly picked up at Borders and bought on a whim. It was a good choice and if you are looking for a novel to read during summer days and nights, this is a great novel to pick up and will keep you turning pages and reading late into the night!
