I'm abandoning this one. The writing and worldbuilding are very good. The story and the main character are just not for me at this time. Too dark.

I've said this before, I'm not a huge fan of the paranormal horror novel, but this series came recommended by one of my favourite authors, so I figured, what the hell, give it a try. And I enjoyed it!I liked the main character - the book is written in the first person POV - Eric Carter, who can talk...

This is a perfect book for you to get out of your reading rut and to get back into your reading groove! It’s got everything you needed.

2.25 StarReading a book by a new author is always an uphill battle. You're ready to nitpick the hell out of it and find all the flaws. The flaw with this read is the magic. Magic should have limitations with the user. People, I use that word loosely, were using magic for financial gain, drug addicti...

Disclaimer: In reading this book I recommend lots of salty, buttery, popcorn, you are going to need it.I loved this book for all its faults, I am not sure if it was what the author was going for, but for me it was a cheesy horror flick. The main character is that heroine you love to hate, the one w...
