"I know your secret..." -phrase from BifN

Stacey Brown, sixteen-year-old, inherited pyshic, and has many secrets... But, when she starts having the same nightmare about her best friend and roommate, Drea, being chased by some mysterious and psychotic stalker those secrets have to come out. Everyone's secrets as well. But, can she handle that when she's pining after Drea's on-off boyfriend, Chad, dealing with her own secrets, and trying to keep atop her grades?

The characters- from serious, down-to-earth Stacey; dramatic Drea; and flirty Amber- can relate to reality, to a real teenager's point of view, that you can not helped but be mesmerized by the plot and turn each page.

The plot itself has a mystical feel with Stacey's magical spells to help her friends- and enemies, in a way- and uncover who the stalker is. Not only does it mix with magic, but it contains the teenagers' point of view of the world and how underestimated we feel.

I thoroughly enjoyed this first book of the quartet. It was a bit different from what I usually read- fantasies- but boardening your horizons right? It was entirely enjoyable and kept me in such a suspenseful hook, that I couldn't put it down. I hope anyone else who reads this will enjoy it as I have.


Recommended to: teens above fourteen (14) years of age, and those who enjoy a good suspenseful mystery with a mix of high school life
