Worthy of a re-read that might continue to raise my rating - I think I’ll keep returning to this book and series many times!

I'd seen the hype for this book and finally got around to reading it.  I loved it and can't wait to read the second book, which is already out.  If you liked the Harry Potter Series, Hunger Games, etc., this is an adult version of the genre.  The sex scenes are graphic - no innuendo here!
