After losing his grandfather, Jack feels lost, unsure of what his future holds. Until he sees the reflection of a beautiful young woman inside his grandfather's mirror. A mirror he never knew existed. She beckons to him, and he's pulled through a portal to the Chanted Kingdom where fairytale characters are real.
Princess Aria's family was killed by the Evil Queen, and after spending a year running for her life and hiding with Robin and his band of misfits, she's so close to completing the Mirror of Reason, which she plans to use as a portal to leave the Chanted Kingdom forever.
All she needs is to catch a young man named Jack in exchange for a mirror shard. Things get complicated as Aria's feelings for Jack, as well as her ice powers, start to grow stronger. Soon, she finds that using her powers to save everyone she loves, will come at a great cost.
My Review: 4.5 Stars
Confession. I am not a big YA fan. I usually skip right over a book when I discover it's YA but this cover drew me in and I decided what the heck! Let's just give it a try. Thankfully, it does not read like a YA. It was fast-paced and action-packed. There was zero time to think about their age! π
Y'all! I can't even with this book! I don't even know where to start because I do not want to give anything away. This is a book that you just have to experience on your own.
I will say that Aria and Jack are fantastic! You can't help but fall in love with these two. I loved watching them get to know each other and work together to get through all the craziness going on around them. They definitely balanced each other out and were perfect for each other. Their love story is definitely slow going but you guys! It's beautiful!
My advice to everyone who reads this book is don't even try to figure it out. There are SO many twists and turns that I did not see coming. Just sit back and enjoy the ride! And just a heads up... for those who only read HFN and/or HEA, you aren't going to get it in this book. But don't let that keep you from reading it. Trust me on this one. You'll see what I'm talking about at the end. π Just know that I'm all about the HEA and I was hooked! I seriously could not put this book down!
Y'all! I feel seen! It's like the authors knew exactly what I was going to do with my kindle when I got to the end. π This is my first book by Ms. Burton and Ms. Cal and I'm hooked! I've already downloaded Red Arrows and I can't wait to dive in!
I usually don't do casting for YA books but, again, I thought what the heck! π What do you think?
