Book description
Aria Rose, youngest scion of one of Mystic City's two ruling rival
families, finds herself betrothed to Thomas Foster, the son of her
parents' sworn enemies. The union of the two will end the
generations-long political feud - and unite all those living in the
Aeries, the privileged upper reaches of the city, against the banished
mystics who dwell below in the Depths.
But Aria doesn't remember falling in love with Thomas; in fact, she
wakes one day with huge gaps in her memory. And she can't conceive why
her parents would have agreed to unite with the Fosters in the first
place.
Only when Aria meets Hunter, a gorgeous rebel mystic from the
Depths, does she start to have glimmers of recollection - and to
understand that he holds the key to unlocking her past. The choices
she makes can save or doom the city - including herself.
While the plot wasn't so complicated -- girl loses memory, says she
loves a boy, meets bad boy, falls in love. The characters themselves,
especially Aria, are what drive this book. I love deep and complex
stuff, I love the cover, I love Theo's writing and the Mystic City
world. Hunter is also so hot, and the fact that he's an actual rebel,
not just a bad boy, makes the romance that much more forbidden. This
novel is for fans of mind games, rebels, heartache and intrigue.
