Truly puzzling!Comments: It wasn't hard to guess who the demon was, it was really easy actually. But the twists and turns that take you by surprise are what you discover and how foolish or brave Vanessa acts. During the book, you may become very angry or frustrated, maybe even want to cry, but in the end you will be satisfied. I don't like Vanessa too much, but still, you can't help but feel her emotions. Tianna seems to snatch her life away. But don't let Vanessa's thoughts or feelings fool you, sharp turns take you by surprise while you're on this ride.

The best series

I got the book in the mail on Tuesday and I started reading right away. I couldn't put it down. Vanessa has trouble with going invisible again. She tries to save someone and scares the girl because she makes her go invisble to save her. She also finds out how come she has so much trouble believing she's a godess. It's because of what she really is. But I think the best part of the book is about Vanessa and her new boyfriend Hector. She likes Hector and she still likes Michael. I can't tell you what happens becuase that would tell you the end and it's not going to be what you think its going to be!
