Okay, so I've been really critical of almost all of the books I've read lately. None of them have been bad, not at all, but they haven't grabbed me. They've lacked an inherent something that makes a book go from good to great (for me personally...I question my own taste sometimes.) 
 I loved this book. It was exciting, interesting, loved the world building, loved the characters, and the romance was awesome. Valek can be one of my YA boyfriends. Not only that, but he's supposed to be in his 30s so I can't even feel guilty about that. Yum. 
 I am putting the rest of the series on my to-read list that's for sure.
