Sebastian Grey always thought he was a fairly normal teenager – good friends, decent grades, and a pretty sweet job in his foster brother’s tattoo shop.

But when strangers arrive in town, Sebastian soon realizes that his world is nothing at all what it seemed. Secretive gypsies surround him, shadowy figures stalk him, and the girl he’s been dreaming about turns up at school.

I received this book from NetGalley as part of a blog tour to give an honest review.

I was torn on this book I read the blurb and I kept thinking do I want to read this book? Would I even enjoy this book? Then I decided to give it a try I mean the worse is I don't enjoy it, but I was very surprised. This was a book like no other that I have read before. It is also perfect for teens to read as there is nothing graphic or remotely for adults only read in my opinion. This isn't only about gypsies but something even more and I have never read about this before so I was very surprised at how quickly my attention was caught and held. The author did a great job with the story line and the characters. Sebastian is a normaly teenage boy minus being very hungry all the time he has friends, he does good in school, and he helps in his brothers tattoo shop all that is out of place is the weird dreams he has about a young girl he has never met before. You all know where this is going right? Well when a group of strangers pull up into town that is when things start going weird for Sebastian and he has to figure out who to trust. He learns all sorts of things that link him to his past but will it be too much for him? I think the author is going to turn this into a great series as I have never read anything like this before and I will be looking for book two to come out soon. I want to know what is going to happen to Sebastian what other secrets are out there, will he even get the answers he needs. The Romany world is one that different and unique.

Let me welcome Author Teri Polen for an interview. I read her book Sarah which I got from NetGalley and let me tell you it was actually a really good read. If you click on the link you can read my review. What truly pulled me to requesting the book was the cover. I know, I know, you should never just get a book by its cover but you know sometimes the cover catches your eye and you just have to read it. I was very happy and surprised to have the author contact me. I think in all my requesting from NetGalley I have had maybe two authors contact me. So I jumped on the chance to interview Mrs. Polen.

Have you ever wondered what Autism was? Do you or someone you know have Autism? Did you know that sometimes Autism is sometimes misdiagnosed? Think about how long a parent is thinking their child has a disorder and is being treated for that one disorder, only to be told months or years later that no your child has Autism. Do you know that a majority of children that have Autism get picked on because they are so called "different" they look normal just like a normal person would but yet they act different. The children and I am sure adults too that have Autism are being bullied at times because people do not quite understand Autism. If you would like more information on Autism, what it is, the symptoms and other useful information please go to this website: http://www.autism-society.org/ While you are there, feel free to look around, and pass that website around on your blog, on twitter, anywhere that will bring more people to the site and help others truly understand Autis
