I love the premise of this! Leylines, Others, heaven, hell, etc. I did feel there were some pretty big gaps. It would have been a 5 star read if there had been more of the story fleshed out. Betha is human, and her mother has early onset dementia. Betha has to sell her home to afford to place her mother in a home. After the sale, Betha goes to St. Luna's where her best friend is. From there, the story progresses very quickly. Betha isn't what she seems althought that is news to her and her best friend. Now, the fate of Terra lays on her shoulders along with a somewhat unlikely team. As I said, there are a few areas I would have loved more details and the time line is a little choppy and it felt as though I needed a deeper knowledge of this world in order to really understand everything happening. Overall, a fun, quick read and I will definitely keep reading the series!
