This book had promise. But for me, it did not work as an audiobook. It seemed to be all "girl drama". And I hate girl drama. It was about the friendship lapsing, and what the two girls feel for each other much more then about the adventure.

The world building was interesting. One girl was a witch, been that was since birth, the other was a witch, but was turned vampire by a mother who wanted to steel her magic. The vampire was kept locked away from her friends and the community was told she was sick, for years. When the girls rediscover each other they think if they can get to the magical city they can save themselves and their community. Once again, the story was so much more focused on the "girl drama".

I wanted to know more about the magic system, and why the forest was eating people! But the drama kept dragging on, and I turned it off.… (meer)

* I got this book for review and would give it 3.75 stars for review*

I really wound up loving this main character so much. I also really liked the world building and the characters in this read. I thought the magic system based on diamonds was super cool. I really liked how the main character background was really unique and was pulled or inspired by the author life. It was fun heist novel mixed with a Assisan novel. It also really liked the full cast of characters and also loved the friendship that was at the heart of this novel. I will def be checking out the sequel!!… (meer)
