First and foremost that cover is what drew my attention right away. I love the lily pads and everything else that comes after that just adds to the apeal. I normally read a lot of YA, but I've been getting picky with my YA. I want a book that makes me want to keep turning the pages and I believe this book does that. I wanted to keep reading and know more after each page. I was pretty upset when I got to the last page of the first look, because I needed more.
