All of Wren’s life she has grown up in the quant town of Hallows Eve. Her family own Rainbow Fields, which are fields of grain that have magical properties with a dark secret. Underneath the beautiful grain is a festering disease that threatens to spread. Wren must team up with her ex-boyfriend in order to find an antidote before it’s too late. 

 Frainstat presents very fascinating plot ideas, the idea of magical fruits and plants grown by different families of the town. But the execution was just poor with plot holes, a very annoying main character and a boring ending. On the other hand, the writing was fast, easy to read and I flew through it.
