Kayla Rocha, a junior at Bob Jones criticizes Jennifer Armentrout’s newest novel. “There was a bit a mystery involved, but I thought the plot was very predictable”.
In contrast, Victoria Stapp, another junior in Bob Jones high school, explains. “I loved it! It had so much suspense. And the main character, Ember, is hilarious. Mrs. Armentrout is one of my favorite authors. This is a good novel for young adults and teens to read. Keeps you on your toes and involved the whole time.”
