This was pretty fun, and definitely refreshing in terms of the type of paranormal YA novels we usually see. I especially liked the girl positive/girl power undertones and that the made character isn't a one and only savior of the world type character, despite her hidden talents. The dynamic with the love interest, Tucker, is pretty fun too, despite that the will they, won't they dragged on far too long. This is pretty much all plot, there's not a lot of character growth and development, but the plot does move at a quick clip, so that didn't bother me like it usually would. There's an incredibly irksome info dump about the mythology behind the story courtesy of Loki near the end, unfortunately. Gah! That drives me nuts. I also didn't really need the extra conflict near the end of the novel between Ellie and Tucker--there was plenty of drama and action to keep the story moving. 
 Honestly, though, this was a fun, quick read and I'd recommend it to someone looking for a lighter paranormal story. 
 NTS: Saw the author at a panel at Powells and it sounded intriguing.
