POSSIBLE SPOILERS!!! I liked the other two books. What made me most happy was the fact that they did not include this new trend in young adult and romance novels to tie abusiveness with love. It was a refreshing change from novels like Twilight, which have heavy abusive narratives, and really, in my mind, paint a distorted picture of what a woman should tolerate in a relationship.

This book has disturbed me. It took a turn for the worse, with the lead female, Clea, even admitting that her justifications of Sage's action towards her "Made her sound like a battered woman". I understand that the supernatural parts of this story are what is supposed to justify Sage slamming Clea's skull into a shelf and almost crushing her best friends hands into splintered meat and bone, but sorry, no. The fact that this "its okay for them to be in an abusive relationship because its supernatural and they have an unbreakable soul connection" narrative in young women's novels needs to stop. It is harmful. Sage is physically pummeling his girlfriend, or emotionally tearing her to ribbons on one page and then, Clea reacts EXACTLY like a text book abused woman the next, apologizing to him, blaming herself, avoiding arguments for fear of his temper, and the next page they are all over one another. It makes me want to vomit, and also cry for all of the young girls slowly being manipulated into believing that these relationships are okay if you are with someone you love enough.

To top it off, Clea sets out to "fix" Sage. Really? It was like they looked up the description for an abusive relationship, lined this story up with it, and published it.

I mean really, is this how uncreative you are Ms. Duff, that you must follow this played out an quite honestly sickening narrative of supernatural relationships that are abusive being okay? You could not come up with a different symptom for Sage's soul changing bodies other than turning into a textbook abuser?

I'm disturbed. If I had a daughter I would not allow her to read this book.

Hilary Duff's books are very interesting! I am a college student and I read them on my iPad for fun. It is hard for me to find a book that I can get interested in the first few pages, but this series of books are awesome! I hope you continue to write more books, because I will read them.

For people out there who have dyslexia like myself. Don't pass up this book because you have a reading disorder. As soon as you start to read This book. You'll become absorbed into the book and you won't put it down until you reach the last page. I finished the book with in one day. I have never done this with any other book. It usually takes me a good 3 to 5 months to finish a book of this size. Thank you so much for writing this book Hilary Duff you are my hero and my role model in life. You have made reading fun for me not something that I dread. I can never repay you for opening a new world of reading to me.
