I chose this song because Cammie always has to watch out for
herself. The Circle of Cavan is after her, and she doesn’t even know
everyone who is in “The Circle” so she always has to have her eyes
open and has to be watching out for herself.

9. Rating
I gave this book five stars out of five
stars. This book had a lot of action as
well as romance and mystery. It kept
having me guessing. The author also
did a great job at being descriptive.
When I read the book I felt like I was
in the book!
