Cassel comes from a shady, magical family of con artists and grifters. He doesn’t fit in at home or at school, so he’s used to feeling like an outsider. He’s also used to feeling guilty—he killed his best friend, Lila, years ago.But when Cassel begins to have strange dreams about a white cat, and people around him are losing their memories, he starts to wonder what really happened to Lila. In his search for answers, he discovers a wicked plot for power that seems certain to succeed. But Cassel has other ideas—and a plan to con the conmen.
Okay second confession of the day. I am actually reviewing a book i didn't like. I found the main character somewhat of a jerk and I also found some of the parts of the book seriously creepy. Emma however liked the book, which is odd. The one other book can think of that we disagree on is Wither. Stupid book too. It's very depressing.
Anyway. The book consisted of what's his name....wait Cassel. Wow apparently I decided not to remember some of this book. Like um the main character's name....anyway. Cassel starts having creepy dream with a white cat in it. He for some reason thinks it is Lila who had the power to dreamwalk. As far as he is aware he has no super secret powers. And FYI just insert a big clue here.
Anyway a bunch of stuff happened and Cassel ends up with a white cat which he visualizes turning into Lila. And tada! Presto he magically turns her back into a girl.
Note: Cassel has always had a crush on Lila. Hold onto that thought. Anyway Lila tells him that he was the one that turned her into a cat that she didn't actually die. His brother is a memory worker and erased his mind each night after making him kill someone. He later finds this out for himself when he puts memory stones into the inside of his ankle. Like slices his leg open and puts the stones in. yeah icky gross.
He finds out that both his brothers are plotting to use him to assassinate Lila's father who is like a curseworker crime boss dude. Him and Lila and a couple of his friends work out a plan to set his brothers up. Everything goes pretty much as planned and then we get to the ending....Another note: I was sorta liking this book up to this point.
Cassel's mother has been in jail throughout the book. She gets out of jail and she is a like emotion worker and convinces Lila to be in love with her son making what he thought was a start of relationship until he found out about that. What a stinking downer.
I will not be reading the next book.
I give this book a rating of 2 out of 5 stars.
A 1 out of 5 kisses for Romance
A 3 out of 5 curses for Violence
A 4 out of 5 on a creepiness scale
A 0 out of 5 chance that I'm reading the sequel.
