This book was unmemorable. I have never read any of the other books in this series but seeing as it is book nine, there must be something about the characters that readers enjoy. I just did not see or experience any of that with my reading experience. It was like I was going through a fog not really seeing much of anything. This book could have had potential but where it missed the marks was the lack of depth of personalities in the characters and a strong storyline. I read that some readers had issues with the character's dialect and I may have too if I had cared about this book. I will not be reading anymore in this series.

Great title and the blurb sounded interesting but I tried to get into this book for an hour yesterday and I gave up after that. It felt like it was dragging throughout each chapter that I read. I didn't enjoy it at all.

Enjoyable but not very mysterious or thrilling. More of a character study.

I liked this story. The characters drew me in, the tension and conflict was great, the plot was engaging. But there are several times when the story draaaaaags. This book needed to be about 23-30% shorter.
