I enjoyed this book, but mostly loved the characters. At a certain point, the plot became a bit predictable; although, I did like the story and ending. The characters were the best part: I loved to love the protagonists and loved to hate the antagonist. I look forward to reading the sequel.

Think this was a nice story, I liked the characters. Lacked a little bit of depth for me, I would have liked more time setting up the relationship between Bess and Gideon at the beginning as I wasn't buying into the whole nemesis trope until the end. I also think the good Vs evil as it was presented was a little too black and white for me and the plot was predictable at times. That being said it was generally an enjoyable read.
