Now let's get on with the review!

1. The Title:
The title is pretty simple but since there aren't a lot of Bennett witch stories so I suppose it's okay. Can't be categorized as cliche just yet and that is indeed a good thing.
2. The Cover:
To be honest, I loved the cover. It is simple, has a solid coffee brown background. The foreground is Samara and Elijah. The editing in the foreground is almost unnoticeable and the text color is most appropriate since it kinda matches Sam's dress.
In short words, the cover has the basic elements of a good/appealing cover. And a good cover kinda gauges the amount of readers that may approach.
3. Concept:
It was different and unique so it is absolutely a thumbs up from me. Not many people write on the Bennetts so this story in itself is a breakthrough.
People have a certain infatuation with writing about younger siblings of the canon characters. It was refreshing to see that this infatuation was not reflected in any aspect of the book. Samara is a Bennett, but more so she is Bonnie's older sister.
So that in itself is a great attempt at avoiding a cliche.
4. Review (includes Summary too):
I will try to summarize as much as I can without spoiling the story.
The story begins when Bonnie's Grams lifts off the spell from the tomb under pressure from Damon so that he could release Katherine. But Kath isn't there (you guys must be familiar with how it goes from then on) and in that case the Tomb Vampires escape instead. Since Grams is quite weak from the spell, she dies. Bonnie calls Samara, her older sister living in New York, to come as soon as she can to Mystic Falls.
