My fave quote: “I don’t think any of the things that happened are coincidence. I think life is a series of stepping stones that branch out in all different directions. We have no idea what path we’re supposed to follow, so we tend to walk a straight line and follow the biggest stones, because that’s the easiest thing to do. Coincidences are the smaller stones that lead you on a path that veers off. If you’re brave enough, you follow those stones, and you wind up exactly where you’re supposed to be.”...more

I kinda felt like there was so much build up but we didn’t get to savor the triumph enough also there was so much tension SO MUCH TENSION between Arianna and Ruadan for these 4 books but there was never a full spicy scene of them getting it on.

First of all this takes Korean Mythology and intertwines it with a German folktale: The Pied Piper; it worked beautiful and it made me so curious and interested more about Korean myths and culture.
Now we’ve got an assassin, Shin Lina, the Reaper of Sunpo and she is BAD ASS. She’s 18 and actually feels 18 but is internally relatable to me who is a few years older. I loved her. She’s cool she’s everything
We also have Rui, the emperor of the spirit world and he is so captivating. If you read this you will enjoy about how everything plays out in between Lina and Rui because it’s not too fast not too slow and always leaves you wanting more.

Anyways this was so good!! We’ve got Piper who is a bloodthirsty girl boss bounty hunter and we’ve got a sexy demon Ronan who gets summoned by a witch coven she’s supposed to kill. What could go wrong? (I left a lot of details out but anyways I liked it - big urban fantasy with paranormal creatures in a post apocalyptic world!) Will def be continuing the series ...more
