Thank you to my friend Devon for recommending this series to me!
I borrowed the audio book version of this from the library for our recent trip. We like to listen to books on long car trips, and this one (three days in the car each way) was definitely a long trip, and this was a very very long audio book to listen to on the way! It's sometimes hard finding books that fit both of our interests, as my husband primarily reads fantasy and I read mysteries, general fiction, historical fiction, horror ...more

I loved the beginning
The mididle was a bit... irritating. A bit too much marysue. A bit too much romance tropes.
The end was lovely.

fun...already put my name on the list at the library for the second. Thanks to Caroline for the pulp fiction rec!
This a great book to read in the fall. The settings of Oxford, France, and upstate New York are very autumnal. The mythology is interesting enough without being too complex. Diana and Matthew are compelling as main characters and the supporting cast is emphatic and stubborn.
I loved it. Wonderful love story between Diana Bishop and Matthew Clairmont. Excellent story. A lot of suspense,action.
