I really enjoyed this and can't wait to continue the series.
I enjoyed the worldbuilding and how the supernatural world is hidden. I liked that a large variety of creatures, myths, etc were used instead of just a select few.
And while I enjoyed the mystery surrounding Quinton and the Night Brothers, that's also where I had some issues.
The first being how often it was repeated that Amari was there to find out what happened to her brother. It's evident through her actions that the constant repetition verbally got on my nerves.
The second being that the Night Brothers didn't have as much of a role as I expected considering they're in the title. I'd explain further, but SPOILERS.
The ending was actually a bit surprising for me. There were many routes that could have been taken, and I honestly thought it would be a different one. It's refreshing to be surprised.
