For more than a decade, Ivy Oliver has lived in a dark, crumbling orphanage where she was sent after her parents’ death. Her only hope for a life of simplicity and happiness is the trial, a test that frees her second form from where it’s been buried since her birth. That hope is dashed, however, when she transforms into a creature that rips her away from the only friends she’s ever had and ensures that her enemies are numerous. She is dragged unwillingly to a school that will discipline her in the ways of survival and defense. There, she makes both friend and foe. She discovers things she never knew about her past and her future. This tiny, insignificant girl is faced with a crushing destiny that might be too staggering for her to bear. She will have to abandon her shy, quiet demeanor and take on a fearless spirit if she wants to survive.

I want to start out by saying how disappointed I was when I realized there was no more pages left in this book, although when I first began reading I was interested but a little put off by the first two…three chapters. The story didn’t hold my attention and demand I read until the sun come up until Ivy went to the conservatory and began coming into her own while training with Roland. And I understand Ivy’s naiveté, as she was an orphan and raised in an orphanage from a very young age, which she displays throughout the book and she’s young…but not so young that some of this should have worn off. I did enjoy the book and I would like to read the next book in this series, this author was able to come up with an entirely fresh new world with a new concept and bring it to life. I would have liked a little bit of a better ending, not that it was bad but I was sad…and not to give a way anything but I was hoping for a blossoming romance. Any way I look forward to reading (One Clicking) anything with her name on it in the future.
