Grrrr!!!!!!! Once again my review or my original read has disappeared. Thoughts after re-read:
- I still really enjoy the overarching story and am keen to learn more about Mattie’s powers and family history.
-I was ok about Mattie forgiving Dan for lying about the whole Meg situation and he promised not to do it again then does it in the very first chapter, tricking her about having Meg pick them up. I like how Mattie remains true to her character and points this out (violently of course) but I really, really want Dan to GET it and stop betraying her trust. Mattie’s trust is a precious thing yet he doesn’t seem to get that.
-I don't mind Eli but I am not sold on him as a love interest. You can give Mattie as many butterflies in the tummy and mystical connections you want it still feels manufactured to make up for the whole Dan/Meg thing and not real. I buy the guardian/protector vibe but not the romance.
-I still LOVE Mary. Mary is awesome. Zeke & Silas and all the random beasties after Mattie better keep their mitts off her.
-It annoyed me that Mattie felt all guilty and responsible for what happened to Dan’s mum. She is a kidnapping murderer. This is NOT Mattie’s fault.
-I was glad she kind of forgave Meg. It wasn’t fair to forgive Dan & not Meg.
-Poor Jake was over-kill. What happened to Meg was enough of a punishment for both Dan and Mattie for the choices they made.
-I shouldn’t like him because he is an evil demon but Silas is a very interesting and entertaining character.
