I loved this book, but I wish it were 100 pages more to give some characters the depth they deserved. The ending felt a bit rushed, aside from that great read and will continue the saga in the future.

Not my genre but still enjoyable enough. Predicted

Sylas being death and Percy being the murderer

from less than halfway through but this didn't spoil it too much - although I would've preferred not to have worked it out so quickly!

My three favourite genres; Murder Mystery, Horror and Supernatural Romance all in one book.
The beginning is hard to get through and I must admit I struggled to like it at first as it does read very much as a blatant YA book. Its also predictable and cheesy at times, but once you get used to it the writing style is quite endearing and overall an easy and enjoyable read.
