Down Among the Sticks & Bones is an exceptionally well written story of two sisters who never learned how to be themselves, but thanks to a magic door, they learn about themselves and who they want to be. This story is about love in all it’s different forms and that no matter what happens, always be your true self.

Jack and Jill 😍😍😍 I wasn't *quite* as head over heels for this one as I was for the first one, but it was still a very strong installment. This series is just so fun, and diverse, and dark, and I am living.

Another McGuire that leaves me wanting more. I wish that these were longer but can’t wait to read the next one.

I liked Jack and Jill more than Nancy, but the plot of this book wasn’t quite as good as the first one. I still really enjoyed it for its take on vampires and portal fantasy, and I’m excited to continue with the series!

The relationship between Jill and The Master is unnerving; it is posed as “father / daughter” but seems deeper than that.

I was hoping to like this more than Every Heart a Doorway because I love Jack but I think that the writing style just isn't for me :/
