    This one sounds good. I haven't read anything by this author. I'm reading Congress of Secrets by Stephanie Burgis this week. Happy reading!

    I love the cover! I also just figured out what the show Descendants is about and I love the concept. I don't think I'm the target market for the show but the book looks really fun.

    I just ordered this book through Thrift Books because the author is going to be at YallFest this year! I was excited when I saw it in your post.

    I have this book, but not read it. I haven't read book one but I watched the show, so I am wondering if I would be okay going into book two or should still try book one.

    De la Cruz. That is an author I've read before many years ago. This looks like a book in a series. Hope it is fun.
