Our thoughts...
I’m not sure what I just read. Wait I do know what I read. No, wait I don’t know! I think I might be
losing my mind!
I’m always one to look for a good YA fantasy, and this
ladies and gentlemen is the book for you. It took me about thirty percent to
finally get the hang of what was going on, and how everyone was involved, but
holy smokeballs I was intrigued! It’s told in multiple POV’s which took me a
lot of time to get used to. One character
would say something from his POV, and the
next sentence would be someone else telling you theirs, so I was like slow your
roll Anjee you need to take your time, after that I fell into a groove.
I enjoyed this story about ley lines and paranormal
activity. A lot was going on. A lot to pick up on, and A lot to try to place,
but oh the fun I had. I read it with a buddy,
so that was a bit better, and of course dabbled in a chat with a friend who read it, but told me no spoilers for the
future. UGHHHH I mean what kind of friend is she anyway? Not mentioning any names *ahem* *steph* *cough**cough*
I enjoyed the Characters in this book immensely, and each one of them has something
different than the other. It’s a great dynamic,
and I feel like they all belong somehow. Of
course, we have some Villains in play, and it wouldn’t be a fantasy
if we didn’t.
In all, I loved the setup and trying figure out what in the sam
hell was going on. It was fun, and I am going to dive in head first with the
next.
