Helpful Score: 4
A book that actually lives up to the hype!
I really thought I'd be meh about this book. Even though it got great reviews by everybody I thought the descriptions about the characters made me less inclined to like them. This was especially obvious with Declan who was described as aloof and arrogant and hard to like at first. I had no problem falling in love with him. He was great! A perfect and befitting knight in shining armor for Rose and her situation. I've never been much of a fan of children in most romances as they often feel like deadweight and there to get rescued or be brats. But I LOVED Georgie and Jack. They were witty, adorable, and lovable--something that most of my friends would be shocked to hear me say about children. Hedgewitch Grandma was another great character whose magic was handled with the right amount of respect. She was a little bit Wicca and a little bit fantasy witch.
If I had one complaint about this book, it would be that the bad guy resorted to explaining his evil plans on several occasions like a bad Saturday morning cartoon villain who incessantly makes the fatal mistake of talking and showing off when he should be killing. However, the book was so well-written and conceived that I enjoyed even the one-dimensional bad-guy.
