As surprising as it is, I really enjoyed this one! At first, Evie's over-the-top voice kind of grated on my nerves. She felt very, very young to me. Almost middle grade young. But after I got used to it, the story moved along at a good pace and kept me interested. I'm happy to say that I didn't see the twists coming. THANK GOODNESS. I'm getting so tired of predictable paranormals. This was such a breath of fresh air. 
 The characterizations in this are wonderful and consistent. Like I said, Evie annoyed me a bit, but I didn't dislike her. And I adored Lend. His paranormal aspect was so cool and different. Really original from anything I've read before. 
 I'm not going to say too much about the plot because I really think it's better going in not knowing much. Maybe this is what I should do with every paranormal from now on. Go in blind. Maybe then I won't be so disappointed when it doesn't meet my expectations. Hmmm...an idea... 
 One thing this could have had more of? Kissing. There, I said it. I wanted more of the kissing. Maybe next book? Hmmm, we'll see...
