Read from January 30 to February 03, 2011
The premise is interesting, but I just couldn't get into it. The writing isn't quite as captivating. Granted, it could be due to the fact that this is YA with YA topics (ie: high school, coming of age, etc.)and day by day I inch further away from being a YA myself. Even still, based on my experience with the Rachel Morgan series, if I based my love for that series on the first book, it wouldn't rank very high. I had to sort of force myself to read the first book, and then Book 2 got way better; now it's my flagship series. Perhaps giving the second book a shot for this series will be the same.

I was thinking the same thing after reading this book. I dont read YA books anymore but since it was by Kim Harrison i gave it a try. For me the book was ok, and i'm hoping the next book like in the Rachel Morgan books is better. Btw VampireNovelFan i never thanked you for introducing me to the Rachel Morgan series, i loved them and got addicted super fast after the second book.
