review
first thoughts: to be honest at first i was not 100% shore if i was going to like it there was a lot of good reviews but i had a horrible feeling the book was going to be like many others i have read. i was wrong 


setting: the setting of the story was much like most story's but there was more to it while most novels have there story's based about a school but this setting was more then just like any other novel. the setting made the story amazing there was so much detail and care taken when the author wrote about gottfried academy. 


characters: all the characters were well together and interesting some stood out more then others and some you just plain hated because of the way they acted but all together i was really happy with the characters. 


cover: well the cover was the main thing that made me buy the book. its a beautiful cover with lots of light and dark green.


all together: i thought this was a well worth the read. there was a lot to the book and there was a exciting twist and the end that left me wanting more. while the start was a little slow at first you soon got into the book that held you with secrets and the mystery of the academy.
