Tye a cute college boy with orange and black hair who says he's her guard That's weird But things get seriously strange when a gargoyle talks to her He tells her that there are two Princetons the ordinary one and a magical one and the Key opens the gate between them But there are secrets that surround Lily Worse secretsWhen Lily enters the magical Princeton she uncovers old betrayals a Underwhelmed and annoyedRead this book after Ice which reviewed lower ratings but is by far the better written book Basically this book was a tribute to Princeton which I understand the author attended because of her Acknowledgements section but I felt it was so much of a knock towards Yale and Harvard that frankly it got annoying I understand that it must be a gorgeous place and the main character has family traditions that make her want to attend but all this raving about the place and the inside jokes and the constant name dropping of famous people who attended? BORING Pretty soon it turns out that the plot was NOT going to move from Princeton yes I think the whole book takes place on the campus but I couldn't get through the book in order to find out if they indeed go visit somewhere else like maybe another college campus without famous people or gargoylesAnother thing was that the main character seemed to be dumber than dirt pretty much from the beginning She doesn't seem that driven and keeps on noticing how some guy is cute seriously she keeps obsessing about the two guys in the book that I couldn't read on especially since those are the two first guys that show up in the book So yes she seems boy crazy and silly No wonder she couldn't get in the school except for this routeMaybe if the author hadn't put in the Acknowledgements that she attended Princeton the whole love fest regarding the school wouldn't have been so nauseating Especially since most of the people I know went to other Ivy League schools and the only person I know that attended Princeton was a big stuck up snob who liked to constantly allude to how pricey his college education was which might have influenced me yes But she did and I read that before I read the book so yeah The best thing about this book is the summary that Goodreads put up for it unless you really really really REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY get the message? like Princeton and are hoping to either live there or relive there

Where does she start? As she searches Lily is joined by THE REVIEWWhy this book?This has been on my TBR shelf for awhileWhat I thoughtSomething about this book didn't click with me Sure it was cool that there were talking gargoylesshape shifters and other magical creatures but that's all it had going for it First off Lily was a major Mary Sue come on tell me i'm wrong I dare you Then there's the romance or the sorta love triangle where each boy disappears while the other one shows up Oh and what was with the declaration of love? Even she was like WTF This book was just boring and made me cringe to hear the name Princeton yes it's true Over an disappointing read
