Ivy was planning on spending her summer relaxing and doing things that every other teenager does at her age. However, when she gets into an accident and meets a stranger in the middle of the road, her summer vacation takes a turn for the weird. After a string of unsettling events, Ivy starts to question everything she believes to be true. She feels that her mother is a keeping something from her.
Dana always has been perceptive even as a child. When she was sixteen, her and her friends decide to learn and dabble in magic. As the fall deeper into the magic bubble, they realize that there is a dark force around them and it might be leading to unwanted consequences.
I thought this was going to be an interested read with the dual timelines. However, it was incredibly boring and unnecessarily long. The author wrote in a long winded flowery prose that took up too much time to read. After awhile, my eyes started glazing over. The novel could have been so much more interesting if the author had limited her metaphors. Not everything needs to be given nuanced description. I didn't really care for any of the characters and Ivy was very annoying at the end. I felt like she did a complete 360 personality wise.
