The story follows Dezaray as she accidentally enters a world different from her own. She has to pretend to be her doppleganger, Lexovia, so that in this world of magic the people don't realize she's a human.

I really wish we got more of Lexovia's perspective. Her story seemed more interesting so I hope that is more prominent in the rest of the series.

I'm not a fan of instalove or when every thought is about that love interest. Also, I feel like the original problem could have been solved easily if Lexovia stayed nearby.

Overall, it held my interest to the end and I gave it 3.5 stars.

I had a really hard time getting into this so I didn't even finish it. I honestly don't even remember what this book is about. I remember zero about it.

Just no. This alternative universe world was literally ridiculous. It was more of an excuse to have two separate characters doing random acts of weird and sick

This book gave me a few shadow hunters vibes, for some reason and enjoy that side, it has a lot of potential, the characters are great, and I ended up enjoying it a lot, even though it cost me a little to get into it at first, but is a book that improves as it develops and once you are hooked on it, it's so fun and has a beautiful friendship so I liked it a lot, I confess that I have read about this subject before, but still, I've really liked it
It's a solid 4/5 stars for me

For Those Who Enjoyed: The Village, Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Witch’s Kiss,

The writing style and setting have a very mythical, ethereal quality, which pulls the reader in right away. I love the idea that the protagonist is being drawn to something she’s uncertain is real. I’m less thrilled with the modern day era at play here. I feel the same way about this aspect as I did in The Witch’s Kiss – not a fan of modern day fairy tales. There is definitely something here though!

Stopped at page 91.
This is a bad combination of mooning, insta-love from Twilight, spells and school construct from Harry Potter, and classification by skills of Divergent.
Unfortunately the Twilight piece is there at all, ugh. The classification is told to use and not shown (literally a lecture from a minor character, yawn). And the spells and school construct might as well be stolen from Rowling.

What should make this book stand apart?
The alternate dimension that has a doppelgänger in it. This idea is what drew me to this book and the construct of the idea is solid. Even the main plot where the two gals get stuck in each other's dimension is great.

So why doesn't this book hold my attention? Because so far 90% of the book is about our lust obsessed 'Muggle' in Harry Potter land. She's so annoying. In the beginning she seems like a tough adult. Once she meets her Edward she becomes a 14 year old girl that won't shut up about all the sexy features of her crush. I'm not talking thoughts here and there. I'm talking paragraphs of description, long internal monologues that are stuck in the middle of an interesting spell dialogue. This mooning gets in the of establishing the world, dialogue and engagement between character, and is just generally annoying beyond belief to me.

I think there is something here maybe. But this book needs a serious, not afraid to hack and slash editor. Someone that will focus on characterization and plot; and less about how pretty one man is.

<I>Please note: I received an eARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is an honest and unbiased review. Don't believe me? Check out the other books I've had eARCs for that I gave great reviews to. I always give my opinion whether good or bad.</I>

Dezaray Storm stumbles into someone else's life. Literally caught in another world, Dezaray must survive by assuming the identity of the most powerful person in the land.

I just couldn't connect to this book. Maybe it was too long. I'm not sure. Too much time was spent on the budding relationship between Dezaray and Milo rather than the peril of the worlds. I wanted to shout "I get it. They like each other." They also do a lot of kissing while in mortal peril. Granted, I've never been in true mortal peril, but I imagine that kissing my boyfriend would take a backseat to staying alive.

This one just didn't keep my attention. The premise was interesting but the characters just didn't click for me. With a little more polishing there is potential here, and I always respect any author who finished writing a novel at all!

The book presents us with two girls who are practically the same person, or two manifestations of the same person living in two different worlds. One lives in a world were her parents died and she thinks its her fault and that it makes her deserve the beatings her drunkard brother inflicts her, which being honest, raised a red flag for me on liking this character or this book. And the other lives in a weird world with weird friends. And one day both worlds collide and the two girls meet and exchange. And I just couldn't keep on reading much longer because then we got instalove on the mix and I just couldn't. I have to say that I liked the parts with the other world girl on our world better. At least she had a back bone and was an interesting character. The other one... let's just say not so much and wrap it up.
