This book was received as an ARC from Kobo Writing Life in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

I absolutely loved this book from cover to cover. This was unlike anything I have read before. I am also in love with books that take you away in one direction and then as you read on out of nowhere it takes you in a completely different directions with shockingly exciting twists and turns left and right. Eden also reminded me a lot of Mare from Red Queen but also of Merida from Brave because of her rebellious attitude and willingness to fight for what she believes in. I really desperately hope this book becomes a series because I know our readers are going to be highly anticipating the await for this book and the next.

We will consider adding this title to our YFantasy collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

Plot (4 stars): This was a really fun read and the plot was great! There are four groups of people who live in the world and they are separated by the type of powers they have - shifters, sirens, elementals, and sorcerers. Their job is to bring Balance to those of us here on earth. Of course, they must keep balance in their home as well. When the balance is threatened, they must find a way to fix it. I love this plot, because it uses paranormal powers that we all know and love, but how they use them is completely different from other books. It was a fun, original twist.

Characters (4 stars): All the characters were great. The ones that I was supposed to like, I liked. The characters I was supposed to dislike, I disliked. They developed well throughout and reacted to situations in ways that made complete sense to me.

Writing (4 stars): Writing was good. I was able to imagine everything. There were a few errors in the book, but they were minimal.

Overall: I really enjoyed this book. In fact, I read it on a Saturday - the whole thing in one day. It was a really great book.
