"Who Will Buy?' turns into an awesome round, "ripe strawberries, ripe!" It's good, Oliver! is pretty flawless. It's the same as The Sound Of Music: these are classics for a reason. You know every single fucking song. You've been brought up with it. It's a shame Bill Sikes doesn't have a song, and I wonder if that's because Lionel Bart understanding that when a character sings a song they are given some kind of motivation for their acts. He is the most evil character."

I love the cover of this book and thought there would be a scene in the story with her wearing it and there is in a way but not how I pictured it. I liked the whole good and evil of the characters, though I wont give too much away by elaborating.

I loved Arriane and Penn.

One thing that seemed rather strange to me was how he never really showed any interest in her but she couldn't help but be drawn to him...

Wow.

I have adored this series since the first book. So much happens. Love. Friendship. Death. So much time passes.

I loved all the Nephilim, all for different reasons, and I have a feeling this story will stay with me for a while.

A classic tale of good versus evil with a brilliant plot and characters. I loved the ending, some bits were sad and others were lovely. The romance was uplifting.

If you haven't read this series yet, then I definitely recommend you do.

AMAZING!
