This book was a wild, heart in your throat ride. It's darker, more intense and all out amazing.
Fans of this series will bow down to Stacia for what she has done. You thought the ending to City of Ghosts was OMG, but here you'll break down and cry because Chess must make a very tough decision that could change her whole life.
I wanted to smack Chess a few times because she really is her own worst enemy.
As for Terrible... I dig him so much.

Initial thoughts: I had a hard time getting into the first 100 pages. Not sure if it is just that I haven't been in this world for a long time or what. But after that this book really hit its stride.
The mystery is done really well and again Stacia Kane does such a good job not only cultivating the suspense, but giving us this vivid picture of Downside and the Church and the people that live there. I really like how she writes the details.
We get an intimate look at Terrib More...

Can't wait for this!
The part about Lex trying to get Chess back is sort of scaring me a little, though. I hope it doesn't end up to be one of those cliché-laced love triangle stories. But then again I was quite surprised that Lex just let her go like that in the first place - not because he liked/loved her but because he just doesn't like losing. So especially that fact makes me not lose faith in the book after all. I hope Lex just wants her back because he's not used to being left b More...

Prelim Review: This is more of a 4.5--and that .5 is only taken off because holee hell on a stick there is going to be smackdowns in the next book and I don't know who to vote for. I mean I really like Terrible--something about the man just makes me feel warm and smile. But Lex. Oh man. We share a name! And the cadence of his speech just sounds...beautiful. Of the two Lex is more my type honestly.
Chess just doesn't get a break from the crap life is tossing at her. And this time More...

The images in her head slowed, and she turned to see that big guy standing there, an uncertain look on his craggy, bleeding face. "You right, baby? Be a problem?"
Terrible.
Full review to come....

Ok, yesterday while I was reading City of Magic,the PERFECT song came int my mind, to describe Chess and Terrible (well, more like who Terrible is to Chess because he is awesome!!!)
ALL THE MAN THAT I NEED by Whitney Houston.
Beyond perfect.

Review to come much closer to release date. What I can tell you, without spoiling a damn thing:
1. Chessiebomb makes a triumphant return.
2. Elder Griffin gives dating advice and this, my friends, is awesome.
3. Chess doesn't understand how relationships work. Shocker. Give the girl time, though.
4. Fire!
5. Magic!
6. Drugs!
...great character growth, insight and development in this one. Also, the sexytimes. Full review

I will fully review this closer to its releases but let me say:
Stacia Kane NEVER disappoints.
This is a fabulous, dark and disturbing book.
Terrible is one of THE most swoon-worthy characters out there.
Chess shows some growth in this book.
I ♥ Terrible :)

I was so disgusted by the drug use in the series i stopped reading after a few pages in the first book. But i read some positive reviews, got over my prudishness and read it again. I'm glad I did . The books are surprisingly good and i'm looking forward to this one.

in a long list of books from series I adore, this one is equal first on the OMG I WANT IT NOW rating scale. Put it this way, it is the only book with a 2012 release date I preordered way back in 2011 :)
