I really enjoyed this novel but there were many areas that became muddled and seem to drag on longer than needed. I was also rather underwhelmed with the ending. These are just my initial responses. Cassie and Izzy both annoyed me for very different reasons. Izzy is that friend who is loud and obnoxious who you pray loses her tongue. Cassie is a naive, passive and overly sensitive person who lacks knowledge of self preservation. There were other moments in the story where I yelled at the characters who had certain books with which they could defend themselves. At times, it almost felt like the characters forgot their lines and the plot of the story. How could they forget that they possessed the ability to prevent the tragedies they witnessed unfolding?
It makes me think about Glinda, the Good Witch, in The Wizard of Oz: "You've always had the power, my dear. You've had it all along."
