Wishlist Wednesday - Another Faust



From Amazon:

One night, in cities all across Europe, five children vanish — only to appear, years later, at an exclusive New York party with a strange and elegant governess. Rumor and mystery follow the Faust teenagers to the city’s most prestigious high school, where they soar to suspicious heights with the help of their benefactor’s extraordinary "gifts." But as the students claw their way up — reading minds, erasing scenes, stopping time, stealing power, seducing with artificial beauty — they start to suffer the sideeffects of their own addictions. And as they make further deals with the devil, they uncover secrets more shocking than their most unforgivable sins. At once chilling and wickedly satirical, this contemporary reimagining of the Faustian bargain is a compelling tale of ambition, consequences, and ultimate redemption.

Review - and Falling, Fly

and Falling, Fly and Falling, Fly by Skyler White


My rating: 2 of 5 stars
I had a really rough time with this one. It has interesting characters. And an interesting plot. But when reading it, I found it to be uneven and disjointed. There would be sections that were great, but then the next would be confusing and out of place. I really think I could have enjoyed it more if it was smoother. There was also a weird mix of philosophy and theology that was mixed in. Could have had good effects on the story but they werent incorporated as well as I would have liked. At some points they just served to make the story more confusing.
