#BookReview: Stealing Infinity (Stolen Beauty #1) by Alyson Noel






Synopsis: These days, I’ve been killing it when it comes to letting people down. Now I’ve been kicked out of high school, arrested, and accepted into a remote, off-the-grid school owned and operated by an inscrutable billionaire tech guru.

Gray Wolf Academy is looking for a certain kind of student. Ones that no one will miss. Like me.

Then there’s Braxton. The beautiful, oddly anachronistic guy who showed up right when the trouble started. And he’s a total enigma—which means that I definitely can’t trust him, even if there’s something about him that makes me want to.
They all tell me I have a gift. A very rare gift. And Gray Wolf Academy wants me to learn it. To use it. Because if what they say is true, I have all the time in the world.
And that makes me the most dangerous high school student you’ll never know…

My Review: I want to start out with the fact that Alyson Noel is an amazing writer! I loved her other series that was out years ago and I thought I was going to love this one.  With all the tarot and numerology aspects I thought I was going to dive into this one and not stop until I was done with the last page.  But sadly that just didn't happen.  I was so confused when this book started.  I wish that it would have had a slower start where it wasn't just a lot of info dumping and me trying to figure out what in the world is going on.  It was just far too much to start a book with in my opinion and it failed to grip me into wanting to read more.
