For the most part I enjoyed this book. The concept was unique and the characters were likable. Seventeen-year-old Eila inherits a big, gorgeous house in Cape Cod under mysterious circumstances and quickly moves in with her guardian Mae without much thought as to how this all came about. She meets a group of quirky friends and from the get-go you know that something is up with these kids, but not in a bad or threatening way, Along come two gorgeous guys that happen to fall in love with Eila and her friend Ana, and everyone is off on a big adventure with no parental supervision.
We eventually find out what is going on with the quirky friends and how they are tied to Eila and her ancestors, but while the first part of the book told a great story and built suspense, things were not explained well in the end and ultimately I felt unclear about a very crucial part of the main plot. The other issue was the over-the-top insta-love, which nearly made me give up and not finish it.
Thanks to Netgalley and Wicked Whale for sending me this ARC in exchange for a fair review.
