Let’s just say I would not recommend this book to anyone above 20. And that’s a stretch. For that reason, I’m foregoing rating this book.
It was juvenile, whiny and very very heavy on the telling with barely any descriptions. It was also repetitive and damn cliffhangers made me want to smack someone instead of reading the next book.
Then there was this whole Judeo-Christian meets, vampire werewolves, fae, witches, warlocks, demons, dragons vibe, meet pocket universes. It was all to confusing to figure out which mythology I was supposed to be grounded in. There was just a hodgepodge with no string to tie them together, no real commonalities or history or origin. I don’t mind the hodgepodge when done logically and explained nicely like in all the Shadow Hunters books. This just felt like chaos.
Then there were the things that just didn’t make sense. Inter-species relationships existed throughout the book, and yet the school was made of factions that didn’t intermingle?

It's constant action going on here, I hardly have time to catch my breath before something new is happening! Some things I see coming, others I don't. I usually like to be surprised, but especially one incident I didn't see the point of. Without giving any spoilers, all I can say is that this event didn't effect the story in any way, as I see it. To me it felt totally unnecessary.
I still think that Luna is acting a bit too childish at times, but I really like the way her powers evolve - and her with them. I like the other characters too, especially Drake has gotten my attention. The heat between Luna and Ryder only increases, but since any relationship between teacher and student is strictly forbidden they can't act on it. Or can they...?
I'm not sure what to think about the ending. I guess it depends on what the author is planning next... I'm definitely looking forward to spend more time with Luna and the others on the Supernatural Slayer Squad!
I received an ARC from the author.
