My rating is 4 1/2 stars. I took off for grammatical errors, or it would have been 5 stars. The crew consist of Maggie, Souxie, Asha, Hillary and Quan the talking cat. The story is definitely character driven and I love it!! I connected with each character in a different way, and I was able to visualize each one in all their glory! The ending hurt my heart, so to book two I go. I can't recommend this book enough, have me all the feels!!
