It pains me to give a Kiersten White book 2 stars but I just did not like this one.

Fia and Annie are very special sisters. Annie is blind but can see the future while Fia has the best intuition known to man - every instinct of hers is right. After their parents die, they are sent to live with an aunt who really doesn't want to raise two girls. When a mysterious scholarship arrives for Annie, their Aunt wastes no time sending the girls off to the mysterious boarding school not really caring what happens to them. But this isn't a normal boarding school and soon Annie is being held captive while Fia does everything she can to find them a way out.

It sounds soooo good right?? And I really wanted it to be. But it was just all over the place. And a lot of that has to do with the way the story is told. It jumps from past to present quite frequently and then jumps around in those time periods as well so I never really had a feel for where we were or how much time had passed in the present.

On top of that, the sisters weren't that likable as MC's and I found that I didn't want to root for them. Annie was naive and gullible. And Fia was just downright horrible. And being in her head hurt. The two characters I liked were Adam and James - two mysterious boys who seem to be more than we are lead to believe. If we could have had more with them, or their POV I feel like it would have been more interesting.

I guess one good thing was that it was short. I have the sequel and I'm going to read it because I'm me, but I don't have high hopes for it.
