3.0
Plot: This book follows Jade and her friend Amelia who, while trying to escape those chasing them, fall through a portal into another world and find themselves being hunted. The books was quite dark and I would definitely only recommend it for an adult mature audience.
Review: This is a novella and is very short, which meant it felt like the first part in a book, rather than its' own complete story - I didn't feel like anything wrapped up, but instead things were only starting. The story didn't get a conclusion, simply a cliffhanger which made me feel like it should have been part of a book rather than a standalone in a series.
That said, I really love Feener's writing style and came to this book off of one of her YA books (also a portal fantasy but VERY different in tone and content) and I have to say that the place she absolutely excels is fighting and action sequences, so those were incredibly enjoyable and I really felt myself immersed as that part of the story was going along. I will probably continue the series to get the full story where I'll be able to review best, but given only the first installment I am going to have to only give this a 3 stars - the story overall may be higher and I may revise the rating later.
