"Cassavetes’ movies to me are a kind of pure energy. He’s the very opposite of Ozu because he cared nothing at all about form. Yet for some strange reason, by not caring about form at all—he just went for it—this produced, in formal aspects, the same result as when you pay a lot of attention to form. His energy with actors can also be felt. In each shot, you can feel what he wants to tell us about story, and you get the feeling that this has to be acted now, shot in the very moment. I would say it’s possibly something very American. This pure energy of making is very American, and it’s very optimistic."

Lilou has this way of writing slow building romances that blend action and friendships into one really interesting story. This was no exception.

I loved Nero; he kicked arse, was really caring of his team and sounds like a great bed partner ;P

Stella was pretty cool, too. She didn't give in at any point, not when being attacked by demons or tested for her abilities. She was strong willed and one really lucky girl to land Nero.

I liked the concept of the story, it was entirely new to me and I was intrigued how it would play out. I wasn't disappointed and will be looking forward to other books in the series and by the author.
