4.0

3.5 stars....

I was pleasantly surprised by this book and enjoyed the mystery and most of the characters. I went into it with low expectations so I think that helped.

For the first few chapters I getting sick of all the weird posturing, etc. by the characters Toby had gone to see. And then the murder happened and things finally get interesting. Of course, all the characters Toby is trying to save keep trying to get themselves killed by being stupid. The Alex thing...
SpoilerI figured that out pretty much right away, come on Toby is supposed to be super smart, she would have got it
. I wasn't sure who the killer was until the end so that was good.

There are some great characters - Quentin, Tybalt, I liked Elliot too. I'm scared of Rayseline so I'm curious to see what comes next with her.

SpoilerI have to admit I was a bit squeamish about the cups of blood from dead people, ugh.
