Chloe Lilywhite struggles with all the normal problems of a typical seventeen-year-old high school student. Only, Chloe isn't a normal teenage girl. She's a Magical, part of a secret race of beings who influence the universe. More importantly, she's a Creator, which means Fate mapped out her destiny long ago, from her college choice, to where she will live, to even her job. While her friends and relatives relish their future roles, Chloe resents the lack of say in her life, especially when she learns she's to be guarded against a vengeful group of beings bent on wiping out her kind. Their number one target? Chloe, of course.
That's nothing compared to the boy trouble she's gotten herself into. Because a guy she's literally dreamed of and loved her entire life, one she never knew truly existed, shows up in her math class, and with him comes a twin brother she finds herself inexplicably drawn to.
Chloe's once unyielding path now has a lot more choices than she ever thought possible

-sigh- I'm a little torn about this book; however, this was probably the most original storyline that I have read in a long time and I must say, it was rather refreshing. The ideas in this book were very unique and I am very excited about the rest of the series. At some points in this book I was not really sure if I really like Chloe, though. Most of the time I was fine with her, but sometimes I found her kind of unrealistic and I wasn't sure how I should feel about her. Also, I feel like her relationship with her parents is rather bothersome and I think she needs to stop holding out hope of them changing. Also, I am not a big fan of the love triangle that has bloomed, but I do think it makes for a compelling story. I think this series is going to mainly center around this love triangle because there really is no way around it. I think I like both Jonah and Kellan in their own ways. For most of the book I was rooting for Jonah because I considered the fact that she had been visiting with him in her dreams since she was little a sign that they were meant to be together. But by the end of the book, I am not so sure and I am a bit torn on who I think she should actually be with.
I will say though that this book was very good. I'm Miss Picky so I like to pick things apart, but I really did enjoy it and I think I can conclude that this series is going to be one of my all time favorites. I think this book deserves a big 5 out of 5 stars and I really think Heather Lyons is a genius. I needed something that was different, even if there is so many conflicts that I can see being present in the future in these novels. This book was a breath of fresh air in a world full of unoriginal ideas and story lines. This book is a work of art and it should be treated that way by every person who reads it. It was definitely a pleasure to read and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
