This was AMAZING-CAPTIVATING ... a book I just didn't want to put down and couldn't get enough of. I love Ms. Lake's style of "dark" writing and the stories that have the twists and turns you aren't expecting. A few times while reading this book, my jaw dropped with a plot twist that I NEVER saw coming. Normally, I can predict a book and how it's going to play out but this one really got to me...definitely deserving of a perfect rating!

It's weird going back and reading early KA because you can definitely see the difference in her writing. Don't get me wrong though, I enjoyed the book immensely and absolutely fell in love with Abby and the rest of her crazy bunch of friends!! These characters made this story so much better and had me chuckling. ...more

I also had to take stars off because I got so so pissed off at Jack and at Melanie. I know it's the angst that keeps me going but it still pisses me off when people do stupid things and are blind to what is right in front of them.
UGH! I hope in the next book, Jack and Melanie start to get some common sense!...more

My Thoughts - Story I had the honor of reading and proofing this debut novel by Ms. Gross. This is a fast paced, adventurous story that had me sitting on the edge of my seat while reading. Once I picked this up, it took a lot for me to put it back down for a break.
Now, don’t get me wrong, there was a little that I didn’t like, but I’m told that will be rectified in the following books to come.
Yes, Killian is bad ass and Melanie should be panting after him, but call me the lover of the underdog and I think her attention should lie elsewhere. I understand why the author did what she did, but that doesn’t mean I have to be happy about it.
I’ll just keep my fingers crossed that the next book makes my wishes come true!
Re-Cap Melanie is special and she doesn’t know why something or someone is out to get her. All starting at the age of nine and coming to head on her 18th birthday, she has a horde of demons, ghosts and anything from the underworld coming after her.
With the protection of Killian (Grim), she dodges these attempts on her life and those around her.
