I could not put this down after the halfway point! The mysterious connections (alucard and rhy omg) were so good. And Lila and kell not knowing who they were was chefs kiss.  Lila learning to use her powers was bad ass and I loved how the author did flashbacks to show her learning. And the introduction of ojka was awesome, I am so excited to see where that character goes. Everyone also loves a game! She kept it unique enough that it didn’t seem like a repeat from other books which was nice. And to top it off the ending was an absolute cliffhanger so I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book!
