Very "Twilight" style book about two lovers who cannot be trapped in a world of magic. What will Lena choose? Will she have a choice to be light or dark? Will Ethan have to choose between Lena and the life he knows and the people he loves?

I personally cannot get into these "instant teenage love" stories anymore. Perhaps if I was 14-16 this book would be up my alley. It lacks character development and plot. It also has an impossible, telepathic, love story with no substance. Its a teen romance novel. Which is not what I expected from the complicated description of the book. The writing is choppy and rushed. You can tell it was written by two people as its often inconsistent. This would make a much better movie than a book so I suggest just watching the movie.
