I was hooked from early on with this, the authors way of writing was different to other young adult authors. Maybe it was the fact that Violet was turning seventeen right at the start and therefore we had none of the sometimes annoying sixteen year old stuff that is in others.

That being said, Violet did manage to annoy me in regard to Lincoln on various occasions throughout but now I've finished the book I know it wasn't all her own doing, not at the end anyway.

I was Team Lincoln from the start (I seem to have this thing about picking the first guy mentioned in books, unless he's an arse of course) and fascinated by Violet's reaction to him. Then we met him and I think I sighed a little, because he seemed rather dreamy.

Phoenix on the other hand was a little iffy from the start. He seemed too good to be true and always a little dark, to me.

After the ending I'm interested to see where things go and will be starting Entice soon.

3.5 stars.

It started off quite good, we were thrown straight into the action and I was excited to see where it would all lead.

Evie was kinda fun, she was rather innocent though having lived in the agency building since she was eight and in a way it fun seeing her in a school setting though her fashion sense and love of pink was a bit OTT.

I love Lend--dodgy name but I totally get it. He had my attention from early on and I loved reading the slow progression of his relationship with Evie.

Reth, I'm not too sure about; sometimes he seemed alright and others I wanted to punch him in the face.

I'm not normally a fan of books involving the fae but I liked this. It was different since it involved all different types of paranormal creature/being and wasn't too engrossed in the courts and the ways of the fae.

I am definitely intrigued as to what else will happen in this series and will be continuing it at some point in the near future.
