My Review

This should be a fun, light-hearted read. Sadly, I did not get a taste or experience this during my reading time. The reason is because I found the characters to be muted and the story as well. In fact, I didn't notice that Olivia had two love interest in the beginning. Both men did not stand out in my eyes. Thus you could say that I was not into the romance.

The mystery aspect of the secret society didn't peak my intrigue either. You can say that this whole book kind of missed the mark. This truly is sad as there could have been something there but with lackluster characters; it failed.
