I loved this. From start to finish, I was hooked.
I liked Lily. She was both sweet and fiery and gave as good as she got when needed. As for Nox, he had a cockiness to him that drew me in from the moment he removed his mask.
The storyline was interesting and unique.
I wasn't expecting for the...case? to finish at the 75%-ish mark and from there I was wondering where it was going to go with still a quarter of the book to read. I'll admit for a good 10% or so I had a steady stream of tears running down my cheeks, thinking: No! I refuse to believe it! and then the tears continued for a different reason.
It's a sweet and emotional story with a thread of humour throughout and right up my street. If anyone knows a story like this (and/or Wallbanger by Alice Clayton) then please let me know. Thanks.

The plot is straight forward, and to be honest maybe a tad basic. It feels like a very short read and I do think potentially could have been expanded on a little. Focusing on both Danny and Hayley's sides of the story helped provide variety and a much needed change in perspective. There's a fair few funny moments in this, some that made me laugh out loud. There were also a few unbelievably cringeworthy moments that I could hardly bear to read (think toilet humour). I think overall this has a decent entertaining story but is sadly lacking in any real substance likely because the plot is very minimal.

Lili isn't the easiest character to love but she grew on me. For all that she is, has been and has the potential to be, she has human traits that she never wanted. She is jaded, tired and depressed. The difference for her is that she isn't in her thirties or forties......she's thousands of years old with a past she'd like to forget.....
Catch Lili Too kept me guessing all the way through, everytime I thought I'd worked it out something else happened.....just how I like it.
The finger of suspicion spins slowly around a misfit group, casting doubts and leaving mistrust. Added in at the beginning of each chapter is a nice one liner of sarcastic humour, which I like.
A well written book that I didn't want to put down. It did exactly what it should do and pulled me into a different world......
