Incredibly unique book will keep you guessing
This novel is unlike anything I have read before. Each time I thought I was starting to get it, it would change on me just enough to get me guessing again. The characters are each unique and vibrant individuals, no small task considering the same man was inhabiting several of them, and the story is beautifully written. Even without the element of mystery, I would have been hooked. It’s a story I can’t say too much about without giving things away, but I can say that it was the best thing I’ve read in ages.
  
I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is the second novel I have read in this series and I can safely say that is among one the best fantasy romances I have read in a while. I am aggravated at myself, however, for not yet reading the first two in the series.

In all honesty, I feel that there is nothing I can say about this novel that I haven’t already said about the previous. The mythology is fascinating and the characters who fit into this fantastic world are just as interesting. In a genre overrun with vampires, werewolves, and shifters, it was refreshing to read about Jenkin’s witches who I enjoyed. I also liked the heroine and her hero. Something about the protector and the protected falling in love is a trope I am very much a fan of.

Again, I really need to read the first two in this series, though the two I have read can be enjoyed on their own. As a fan of fantasy romance and elemental magic, I highly recommend this series and plan to continue it until it's completion.

First time i saw this at the cinema wasnt sure i would like the movie cause i remember watching the edward woodward version in the 80s and being a fan of the tv show. I wasnt disappointed by the movie very voient especally the DIy fight scene between him and the bad guys denzel washington is perfectly cast as mccall. All i can say bring on the sequel

I must say I really enjoy books like this, it was light, humourous and about my favourite subject: BOOOOKS!!
This is great to read between 2 heavy books as you can dip in and out and it's a quick read. I spotted this and the second book in the series going cheap online so I couldnt resist getting them, money well spent.

Nothing particularly original
A Sad Sequel
Sadly, all I can say is that I was hoping for more and wasn't happy with what I got. The movie relied on gimmicky scenes and overplayed plots. I was hoping for so much more but this is just another instance of a sequel relying too much on the success of the original.

I had never before read a book by Grace Hitchcock, and I am please to say this will not be the last one I read by her. This book set in the Chicago Worlds Fair is a great historical detective novel, with a quirky main character that really pulls you in from the start. 
I can not wait to read more from this author.

As far as I can remember this was my first Laymon novel. I read it quite a while ago now so I don't remember a great deal about it. I gave it 4 stars as this is the book that got me into reading laymon and I have to say he is one of my favourite authors. I remember being transfixed to this book. It's well written, fast paced and shocking. Great read!

I don't know what I can say other than "wow this is incredible" to sum up this book. Hard to choose between this and The Ocean at the End if the Lane as his best, but remains one of the best novels ever written.
