A beautiful story, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab takes you away to a new

world--one where a girl named Addie makes a deal with the “devil”. The book takes you on an

adventure as Addie tells her story of how she lives to hundreds of years old, experiencing wars,

corruption, and success--and finds love within it. Schwab’s writing style of building off of mainly

flashbacks draws readers tightly into the story, with its ups and downs and chapters full of

I can't believe I waited so long to read this teenage romance. This is a fantastic high fantasy about a teenage girl, but you can tell this is the author's debut book. I have confidence Osterlund will do wonderful things with the rest of this trilogy. I had a great time reading the fast-paced story. I want to see what she can do with the romantic tone when she has a little time under her belt.

I adore the character Aurelia. She is the type of woman of steel I always imagined a princess would be. Her blended family situation came across cleanly, with just a little violence.
