This book was fun, fast paced and filled with monsters and a touch of romance. 

Also, Winnie wearing glasses just makes it that much better and realistic. 

Winnie is a hunter outcast who wants nothing more than to help her family get back into the Luminaries good graces. Partaking in a series of trials she tries to do her family proud. But with new monsters on the loose that only she can see it makes it all that much harder.
Also, there's this boy helping her that she just can't put her finger on. 

All I can say is I was left with more questions than answers we were given so thankfully the next book was there ready for me straight away. (Otherwise, I may have gone mad as the ending is a bit abrupt.)

This book was fun with amazing world and monster biology building!
