I enjoyed reading this book, and as it is the second time i have read it that does bode well or this series. I found the book well written and the locations well researched. You follow along with Cassie and everything that happens along the way, the author sucks you in making you want to continue reading to find out what Else Cassie is going to get up to and what trouble she is going to end up in at the end of everything. I really enjoyed the story line and the whole take on it, i found that it is a very different book than a lot of books that are around bringing a whole new sort of supernatural creature. I will definitely be looking at the next book in the series again.
