In a Manhattan where the streets are under water and outcasts called mystics have paranormal powers, Aria Rose is engaged to Thomas Foster and the powerful Rose and Foster families--long time enemies--are uniting politically; the only trouble is that Aria can not remember ever meeting Thomas, much less falling in love with him.
OH MY GOD. 4.5 stars. Freakin' awesome. Marked it down half a star because of cheesy love letters, and Romeo and Juliet, a couple that I despise.
On the whole, I was pleasantly surprised by Mystic City. I had heard that it was pretty average before going into it, and I put it off for two months before finally picking it up. I want to slap myself, because Mystic City was AWESOME. I couldn't believe how much I ended up enjoying it!
