turned it around by the halfway mark and left me wanting hard at the end Any feelings that it might lack originality were blasted away as the story moved onwards and we learnedabout the characters they were innovative, funny, and charming in equal measure Edw...What the hell was that I just read This book was unputdownable I can almost 100% guarantee you you haven t read an urban fantasy quite like this one before The first half of this book I was thoroughly enjoying as a straight forward mystery romance and then.well the second half happens to you There are no words..this is not a predictable read so don t try But I would say this a true fantasy and highly original I literally couldn t believe what I was reading.This author also has a great What the hell was that I just read This book was unputdownable I can almost 100% guarantee you you ...It took me a little while to get into this book It starts off a little slow and I wasn t really sure where Hailey Edwards was going with it And then I met Cole Which, for me, is where the story really started to get interesting Then it gotinteresting Andinteresting And by the end, I was ready to stalk the author on Twitter and beg

slow, though the mystery surrounding Luce s past and the appearance of the Whitehorse security guys immediately captured my attention The overall tone is a subtly dark and mysterious, and the world building is excellently done Something about the writing style is unique and really appeals to me, though I can t put my finger on what it is I absolutely loved this...3.5Good beginning, a middle that s a bit wobbly, and again a very good end I could have done without the instalust and all its physical appearance, I honestly found it irritating, like a water drop falling constantly from a kitchen
