Elixir by Hilary Duff

    The following is what is written in the inside cover of Elixir by Hilary Duff:

    "Seventeen-year-old Clea Raymond has felt the glare of the spotlight her entire life. The daughter of a renowned surgeon and a prominent politician, she has become a talented photojournalist who takes refuge in a world that allows her to travel to many exotic places. But after Clea's father disappears while on a humanitarian mission, Clea begins to notice eerie. shadowy images in her photos of a strange and beautiful young man- a man she has never seen before.

    When fate brings Clea and this man together, she is stunned by the immediate and powerful connection she feels with him. As they grow closer, they are drawn deep into the mystery behind her father's disappearance, and they discover the centuries-old truth behind their intense bond. Torn by a dangerous love triangle and haunted by a powerful secret that hold their fates, together they race against time to unravel their pasts in order to save their lives- and their futures."


    I must have been living under a rock when this book came out in 2010. I had no idea Hilary Duff had wrote a book let alone a whole series. When I first picked up the book to read the cover I read the first sentence and was thought to myself it was typical of an actor to write a book about someone in the spotlight. But I was proved wrong once I kept reading. I thought the book would be more about someone super famous and their life or something along that line but this book was not that, at all. I loved this book and was so surprised by Hilary's writing. The story was really original and again, not something I was expecting from her. It was extremely creative and kept me staying up way past bedtime to read more. It was very hard to put it down. I felt like I was there in the story with Clea and her mystery man feeling what they were. Amazing book that you should definitely pick up! If you've read it already well maybe it's time to reread it! I'm glad there is a second book because after the first one I had so many unanswered questions.
