Reckless Magic - Rachel Higginson

Serie: Star-Crossed #1 
Release date: 2011


16 year old Eden Matthews has been in and out of private schools for the last two years. Kingsley is her last chance to finish high school and she is determined to simply do that. But when she meets Kiran Kendrick and her world opens to something she thought only existed in fairy tales, she's unsure what her future will hold. Suddenly she is captivated by a boy who seems to be the source of all of her problems and struggling to rescue her best friend from a foreign prison. When attempts are made on Kiran's life, Eden alone must save him. Thrust into a world that is more make-believe than reality, Eden has to find her own destiny without losing those she loves most. Reckless is an intricate story of mystery, adventure, magic and love. Eden Matthews is an unlikely heroine set on a path to save the world and her loved ones before its too late.

I read this book a couple of weeks ago and this is a good example of a book which I found good, but I can't really remember what is was all about. The cover is boring, but the summary looked promising. The first half of the book was really boring and I was frustrated with everything that was happening. The main character Eden is left in the dark about everything and so are we. Apparantly she is not going to a normal school but a magic school and she has also magic, but she doen't know how to control it. Then there is Kiran, the hot mysterious guy, they fall in love. I really don't understand there attraction, it was not realistic at all and it missed al the tension between the two. I kept hoping that Eden could get her act together and figure out what she is and what she had to do, but all you read is about different characters blaming her for everything. When in the second half we finally get answers, the story became more real and interesting. You just want to read more and more, but still the love between Kiran and Eden does not feel right. I'm a little bit curious about the second book, because there is just so much more you want to know. It was an oke book.
