Quick, Easy Read

When My Heart Was Wicked has a lot of promise, but is ultimately disappointing. There was seemingly so much thought put into the story, but the ending is rushed and expected. It dances along a dark story, and has some interesting things to say, but it falls flat. Could be due to being written for young readers. I would say this is a good book for a 12/13 year old, not mature readers.
