Book Summary

• I thought that this book was very good. It was
  interesting and thrilling. What started out as an
  ordinary girl living an ordinary life, turned
  into an exciting story filled with drama and
  thrills. It was one of the best stories that I
  have ever read.

  I would also recommend it if you like good and
  exciting books.
