4.5 Would love to re-read this on audio.
Great characters, twisted plot, magical beasties, a good questioning of good/evil, never a dull moment, equals WINNER.
Urban fantasy with an intelligent thought provoking story. Ended with a cliffhanger, a good decent one you will not be pulling your hair out,
I really enjoy this author's writing. She writes intelligent characters, they actually think about consequences before doing something possibly stupid. Yes, it's true ! Wait it gets more shocking, they talk to each other about their ideas, and concerns. I didn't have to internally scream "Say Something Damn IT !" Some of her characters lines were fabulous, I saved many for future use.

A fun and engaging read, but I had a couple of issues. The end of the book left a few subplots open, either for effect or to set up for later books in the series. I'm not wild about the latter possibility. Is it the author's deal to keep releasing books in various series? Also, the New Haven police detective is a great character in this book, but the backstory revealed didn't quite work for me. There were some contradictions that made it sound off.

Tried too fit too much in one book and annoying repetitive phrases

I wish I had read this book closer to when I read Ninth House because I liked it but it was hard for me to remember the nuances of the first book and that made the plot difficult to get through in the beginning. I also don’t recommend reading this book when your school workload is very heavy because you will put it down for about 2 months and it will take you forever to finish it. That being said when I did read it I had a good time and I’m looking forward to the next one.
