VANISH Review -- Sophie Jordan
Vanish: A Firelight Novel by Sophie JordanMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Plot: 3 stars
Vanish had a very unorganized and at first uneventful plot. After it got rolling, though, there was no stopping until the finish line. There was little to no tension in the story, which made for a much less hypnotizing…
