Ember: Quick Review - The Beautiful and the Cursed

Right, because we don't always have a lot of time, and when we do, we tend to forget we started a blog at all, Sherry and I have decided to do the occasional Quick Review, which is just a short review of books we've read. It allows us to do more reviews, even on short notice.
So, here we go.
Ember's Quick Review: The Beautiful and the Cursed, by Page Morgan.

Synopsis:
After a bizarre accident, Ingrid Waverly is forced to leave London with her mother and younger sister, Gabby, trading a world full of fancy dresses and society events for the unfamiliar city of Paris.
In Paris there are no grand balls or glittering parties, and, disturbingly, the house Ingrid’s twin brother, Grayson, found for them isn’t a house at all. It’s an abandoned abbey, its roof lined with stone gargoyles that could almost be mistaken for living, breathing creatures.
And Grayson has gone missing.
No one seems to know of his whereabouts but Luc, a devastatingly handsome servant at their new home.
Ingrid is sure her twin isn’t dead—she can feel it deep in her soul—but she knows he’s in grave danger. It will be up to her and Gabby to navigate the twisted path to Grayson, a path that will lead Ingrid on a discovery of dark secrets and otherworldly truths. And she’ll learn that once they are uncovered, they can never again be buried.

***** FIVE STARS *****
Great book, amazing characters. I especially loved Quinn, but then, I always love it when there's a Scottish guy in a YA book. Luc sort of fascinated me, and I loved the complicated little bit of romance between him and Ingrid.
The story, overall, wasn't what I'd expected - it was better. It was like a combination of Cassandra Clare's Infernal Devices, and Amy Plum's Revenants series. I was hooked all the way through and read the whole book in one day. Can't wait for the sequel!
