I am soooo sad that the excerpt was so short! I was completely enthralled in it. I thought, at first, that I wouldn't like it, but after reading it, I found that I was reading the words with anticipation and excitement! I found myself rooting for Camellia and now I'm desperate to know the outcome! Will she win? Omg, I hope I win this book raffle, because I don't know if I can wait until the book comes out.... Actually, I don't think I can wait for the book to be mailed to me if I DO win! I want to read it NOW! :-(((( Excellent way to reel me in!
