Fun new series!

LOVE this new take on a RH series. Madi awakens in her seventeenth birthday fully expecting her parents to wake her with hugs and chocolate birthday cake. She had no way of knowing all she knew would change that morning. Told to open this odd, old looking book the moment her folks leave the room she was NOT expecting said book to move and magically talk!!! As if that wasn't enough, once it said what it did it vanished into gold dust!!! What the heck is going on! Was she still asleep and having a crazy dream?? After all her nickname wasn't Sleepy for nothing. She quickly demanded answers from her parents. Her entire world that she knew shattered in that moment. For she learned as a descendent of "the" Sleeping Beauty, and because she apparently now had powers she had to leave tonight. Her folks also inform her she must go to a special boarding school for other descendents with powers so they might learn how to use them and help defend themselves and others. The worst part is she had to leave her boyfriend with no explanation. He was her best friend as well as boyfriend, and they'd been close since childhood. To not be able too see or speak to Quinton again was beyond heartbreaking. To top it all off Madi learns she'll also have no say in who she'll eventually marry !! What the heck is going on??? For years she's dreamed of ravens and crows. Fearing her parents would think her crazy she never spoke off them. Before leaving she asked her mum what her side of the family did....it involved these same birds....yet Madi inherited from her dad's side. Could it be possible to gain both sides of her families powers? Her mum swears not, but Madi is no ordinary person. I'm thinking there more to this. Madi will have to rely on her huge heart, instincts and fierce nature in protecting those she loves. This first book sets the series up brilliantly. My guess there are many more mysteries to surface, and people close they might not want to trust. This is a really fun read!! ( )
