It was only ok. I wanted it to be so much more. I wanted more supernatural elements. I wanted the plot to get dark. I wanted it to be scary. Instead, it wasn't. First the author does not keep the promise made in the prologue. Second, out of necessity there is a huge cast of characters, but they are so hard to keep apart because they all have a similar, mysterious past. Some plot lines just stop. Not end, just stop. And it wasn't scary. I was very let down by this book.
