Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Bookluver-Carol

When 16-year-old Scarlett Wakefield transfers from St. Tabbys to Wakefield Hall Collegiate, she is relieved that no one knows her dark, haunting secret. A few months ago, Scarlett was invited to an elite party with a guest list full of the hottest names in British society, including Dan McAndrew. Before the party, Scarlett had only imagined what it would be like to have her first kiss with Dan, but on the penthouse terrace, Dan leaned in close and she no longer had to wonder. Their kiss was beautiful and perfect and magical, and then . . . Dan McAndrew took his last breath as she held him in her arms. No one knows how or why Dan died, and everyone at St. Tabbys believes Scarlett had something to do with it. But now that shes safely hidden away at Wakefield Hall, Scarlett would rather forget that it ever happened. Only she cant. Especially when she receives an anonymous note that will set her on the path to clearing her name and finding out what really happened to the first and last boy she kissed.

I liked this book although it could have been better. Scarlet's talent of being able to do well at gymnastics just leaped out of the page. You could tell that the author knew what she was talking about whenever Scarlet flipped and practiced. The plot was really good but it could have been better. It dragged in some parts and the middle was slow. The beginning and end were great although the end left me wanting more. You could relate to Scarlet. The fact that Scarlet was an orphan was repeated a lot of times as if the author was trying to convince us that Scarlet was indeed an orphan.I did not like how Scarlet treat her friends but hopefully she'll make it up to them. The wasn't as much mystery as I wanted and when there was it ended to fast. This book had so much potential but hopefully the sequel will be much better.
