I started to read the book but didn't finish in time for book club so I started reading something else. I finished the book by listening to the audio book. I enjoyed both.

I wish the rating was out of 10 because I'd give it a 3.5. Since it's out of 5, I guess it's closer to a 4 than a 3.

I love this new "add to list" option when rating things! Now I don't need paper when I see a book, movie or game that I'm interested in I just add it to list. 😊

More of a 3.5 rating. I liked Cash, not so much Nash. Strange, I know, if you've read the book. I didn't quite understand Olivia's indecision between the two.

I haven't decided if I'm going to continue the series yet.

I could not put this book down as the world building and characters pulled me and held me. Though at times the plot did drag for me it did not deter my rating. This unique fantasy alternates between pov and I recommend it.
  
I was surpised in the way this was set up. Though I am not all for it. It was good. There some things that is relates to romance. I would not to be hard on the rating. I think it a four star rating. It could have been more of a plot. It does have some mystery to it. It is a good book. I enjoyed it. The way she lost her husband was something new.

Book Rating
Gaiman is very hit or miss for me. I've only really liked one book.
I really disliked Neverwhere when I first read it, it took me forever to get through, and I really liked the idea of the novel, just not the execution. But, yes, I am rating this an 8. The reason for this high of a rating is the BBC production of this book with James McAvoy. That radio adaption made me like it so much more, and I've now listened to it twice.
After this, I decided to only audiobook or get BBC productions of Gaiman's novels, but thus far, it's still been a bust.

I wish there was an option to give a 3.5 rating. I enjoyed the premise but not the writing. I will read the 2nd book to see if the writing improves.

Just because a story is YA doesn't mean it can't be well written. The story felt rushed.
