I read about this book in our local paper about a week ago and ordered it right away. It was billed as a YA novel that was for both young adults as well as adults and was likened to Harry Potter in that adults would find the book intriguing and would perhaps get more out of reading it than teenagers.
Truthfully, this book just scared me from start to finish. And I certainly hope my girls do not behave as these girls did. If so, we are going to have a serious talk. And then I am going to lock them in a cage and not let them out!
The basic plot of the book is that two step-sisters, Luna and Nick, think they have stumbled across a young girl being held against her will by an older man and they attempt to secure evidence to support their theory. The back cover of the book makes this novel seem like a delicious mystery that perhaps helps to explain how wickedness begins in people. Instead, it was just a week or so in the life of two rather screwed up teenagers and their even more screwed up parents. While it was a good story about Nick and Luna, I rarely felt the mystery of it all and I still am not sure where wicked starts.
Happy reading, everyone!
