Ava is a great character, I like that this is a series because I didn't feel like I got to know her until towards the end of the book. I'll look forward to learning more about her and the other characters, Uncle especially. The storyline kept my interest, I felt sorry for some of the antagonists in the books because they honestly didn't know what was coming. Even when forewarned. I loved the international flavour of the settings and enjoyed hearing some familiar places described, Toronto, and others less familiar. 
 Will definitely be checking out book #2.
