This book was recommend by a book club and I really, really wanted to like it. The premise holds promise but never really delivered to me. I found most (alright, all but Jenks & his charming family) of the characters to be annoying and.....strange? 
 I'm all about setting up a character to be explored in later books but there was so much buildup and questions introduced and very little (if any) resolution. I don't want to read four books for any resolution. Questions like: Ivy's reason for quitting & her living in the church before Rachel or not. Are Rachel and Ivy into each other or is Ivy just kind of creepy? The whole mess with the demon. The witch across the street. Trent. Nick. Literally all characters that I felt like I would enjoy more if I was given a bit more REASON to like them. 
 Maybe this book will marinate more favorably in my mind over time, but for the present moment-not for me.
