I absolutely loveThis was such a fun and completely enthralling book! The whatif's of it all will suck you in and keep you rapidly turning the pages. I absolutely loved how realistic this was and how down to earth all the characters were. It really did take me by surprise and keep me entertained until the very last page. Definitely an author I will be keeping my eyes on!

I actually read this along with my youngest who honestly is not a reader. But, they loved this and for that alone, I have to rate it well. This might I actually read this along with my youngest who honestly is not a reader. But, they loved this and for that alone, I have to rate it well. This might not have been my favorite book or even one I loved but they did, so much so that they have already picked up a second book by this author and as a mom and lover of books, that is a pretty amazing thing to see from a child that we have always struggled with making, yes making, them read a book for school and they willing picked up a second book all on their own. ...more

It's highly rated and even came recommended to me but...I can NOT get into it. The dialogue feels forced and stunted and the characters completely unrelatable. This, for whatever reason, was just something that didn't hold my attention and I kept putting it down. After so many pages I realized, this wasn't something I wanted to force myself to read so I'm DNF'ing the rest of it and rating what I read and giving it a very neutral three stars. ...more

With supernatural creatures galore and magic and danger everywhere, it truly is something to take notice of.
I have enjoyed the wonderful mix of characters from the very beginning with their light hearted banter and witty snarky one liners, they really are a fun group of people set out to save each other and their beloved city.
With just the right amount of unwordly-ness, supernaturals, magic, mystery, and the right amount of romance, this series really is a diabolical combination of all the things I love not only about this genre but about Neill's writing in general.
And even though I haven't been able to find for sure if this is the last book in the series, I do know that it ended so nicely that if it was, I would be very happy with how it all came together and was resolved.
