So I have a new favorite book!! Oh my god this book was just spectacular! I loved the characters it is easy to say that Kat is my favorite. I thought she was such a strong and funny character and I adore the relationship between her and Jim. As I big fan of fey I find that not all books about them are actually good but this one was! I was hooked from the first page and didn't stop reading until it was 4am and there were no more pages to be read. I am do excited to read the next installment to this spectacular series, a must read for everyone!!!

Path of Needles relies heavily on the old fashioned fairy tales, the ones that your parents wouldn't let you read when you were very young. These stories are heavy with danger, pain, and sexuality, and the author brings those characteristics into an intriguing book about a girl finding out more about herself and her family and friends than she could have imagined.

Kat lives in New York City with her twin brother Roger and her superstar author father. Their best friend Jim has been part of her and Roger's lives for as long as she can remember. And all of these things are not what they seem.

Kat is a strong female character, easy to identify with, and thrilling to follow on her adventure. The fact that she is scared for almost every second of it makes it even better - there is a thin layer of dread and tension that follows her narrative as she takes on monsters with her twin brother and their best friend, and tries to find her father.

Roger seems like a typical teenage jock, but his part to play in the overall story is rather intriguing, as is his relationship with Jim. There is a lot more going on with him that we simply couldn't see, since we were living inside of Kat's head.

The only negative thing I have to say about this is that it is too short! I was definitely expecting more at the end, and was definitely wanting more by the time I got there - and then it just ended! And the subsequent novels haven't been written yet!
