Its a quite a hippy-eish and free spirited book. She is a very good writer, she has a consistent and natural flow.
The whole basis of the plot is good, my uttermost favourite thing in the book is the sort of rogue-esk feeling of some of the characters. I love how the rats and Kevin(a street kid) are central parts. Nowadays its all about 'emo/depressed girl'a 'a genius'etc and the wonders of normal people and animals are forgotten. In this they arent forgotten, I love reading about real people and...more

I'm happy to have finished the trilogy but found this last the least pleasing of the books in the Switchers series. It seems a bit churlish to complain about but I found Tess' continual obtuseness and inability to believe in magic, fairies and Ireland's old myths aggravating: after all, she believed in Krools and a vampire, and is a Switcher. I tried to tell myself if was KT characterisation of self-absorbed adolescence but I was more annoyed with Tess in this, than any of the other books.

i think i wouldve appreciated this book more if i was younger, because now, after just a whole day of reading this, i kind of thought it was stupid. the perspective was kind of weird. I thought it was hard to read smoothly, but it was still a good story. I hadnt read the first two books and i was still able to understand it, which was good.
uh... I liked the book, but I feel the need to say that the summary for the paperback edition on this is wrong. I don't know what it actually goes to, but it's certainly not Wild Blood.
I remember reading this when I was young and loved these books! I'm going to have to reread these treasures. :)
Good book. Very interesting ideas. The ending surprised me. I think I liked the first book the best, then the second one. There are some really cool things that happen in this book. She is really a cool writer. And I love the references to Ireland and Irish culture and Myth.
This was a good one, better than the other two. It was interesting and I finished it in less than a day. My favorite character in the entire series is definitely Kevin.
