A great, easy to read book/series. Worth the couple bucks on Amazon. The most fun and fascinating parts are the demons.

I'm not sure why this book gets so much flack! It's a 90's Sci-Fi novel...of course it's a bit over-the-top! That's how we rolled in the 90's :c)

Seriously though! I love this series :c)

The first half was ok but heard it got better so I kept reading. The second half of the book was so much better but I’m not sure I want to continue the series.

True life
I have read this book time and time again plus the whole series of the life of David Pelzer and it proves no matter what background you come from if you have the right support you can achieve anything
  
I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This was a cracking good mystery! I appreciated the characters and the mystery.
I'm looking forward to reading this series from the beginning.

Really enjoyed this. (Nothing like the TV series FYI which I thought was a complete let down).
The characters are easy to connect with, even the ones that you aren't necessarily supposed to like in the initial stages of the book!

You absolutely do need to read this before starting the series. I loved the short stories and their nods to classic fairy tales. The author did an amazing job adding his own twists to everything. (0 more)

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.
