Rezension von Natália Oliveira<blockquote><b><i> "I don’t believe anyone should be allowed to dictate what I read or who my friends are."</i></b></blockquote> This book was not what I was expecting when I got into it, but somehow I like it more for it. There is a chilling, dark atmosphere in this book that is hard to explain, but at the same time made the reading all the more interesting and immersive for it, and I can only commend the author, because this is such a hard thing to do. I felt for Cate a lot, because she was left in this position of being the lady of the house after her mother's death, because her father is always absent, trying to keep her and her sister's secret while keeping them safe and bringing them up as best as possible. It's sad how she never does things for herself, because she has to think of her sisters, and when she thinks she will finally be happy, everything just crumbles. Yes, I think she could have fought more for what she wanted, but I understand her and I think Maura and Tess don't realize the sacrifices she's making for them. Especially Maura, who actually annoyed me A LOT during the entire book and at one point I wished she would just leave already, the ungrateful little fool. Ok, I do understand a bit her rebellion, her confusion and her feelings for her tutor, because being the middle child, she never got much attention and the chance to shine, and it was easy to see what she wanted and play her feelings. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Cat's friendship with the other girls and how they were actually more than they appeared. It made for some fun scenes and some kick-ass girl power. The romance was cute and sweet, but not amazing and was maybe a little bit too fast. Overall, I really enjoyed the book and the ending left me so sad for Cate and her sisters. I am looking forward to get to understand the prophecy a little more in the next book, see Cate develop her powers and get to know the Sisterhood more! Actual rating: 3.5 stars.
