I may or may not review this properly when I decide how I really feel about it.

For now, I'm at sixes and sevens and this is my knee-jerk reaction to it:

There were plot holes the size of volcanic craters, names were thrown in topsy-turvy, and more than once I caught myself wondering what in the bloody hell was going on.
The paranormal element was clumsy.
Cillian's character felt redundant and by the time he did get involved in the actual story at around 90%—in a Deus-ex-machina, eye-roll-inducing ...more

Probably my 2nd favorite couple next to Ty & Zane. But the similarities between the two couples are so great, I can't help but picture Zane as Tom and Ty as Prophet the whole time I was reading it. But I didn't mind it one tiny bit! SE Jakes just made a new fan! I can't wait to read the 2nd book :) ...more
