This book is about a town with a sinister secret. People have been going missing for years, their bodies never to be found. Until the small police department does a welfare check that unearths a mass grave yard and a weird monument. Now something is lose, something terrible.
The characters were really interesting in this book. Especially because the main character is only about 15 years old which was really young for the material of the book. It's hard to describe all of the characters in this book because there are so many. This book takes place in a small town so there are really a lot of characters. Saying that, I did think that the cast of characters was executed really well. Not every author can pull of writing this many characters but this author pulled it off.
The plot was a little more iffy but I thought that it ended very well. It was really interesting to see the way that the author talked about gods and how they were created. The magic system was also really well worked out. Honestly it was really really interesting especially toward the end of the book.
I am really hoping that this is a finished series because I really want to keep reading. If the next one ends on a cliff hanger I'm gonna be so sad. Anyway, if you are looking for a dark fantasy this will scratch that itch.
