Gripping
Took a while to get into the swing of it. (0 more)
Slow acceleration, but gripping once you get into it.
So started this book full of optimism, after all, I have loved every Sophie kinsella book I've read so far so why wouldn't I like this one? Took a while to get going, and I was starting to get bored and lose faith ,until about half way through when the plot and pace finally started to pick up. As soon as it got into the swing of it, I couldn't put the book down! Started reading while waiting for my hair dye to work, next thing I know 3 hours have gone by and I should have washed the dye out hours ago! (Its ok, it was non chemical dye, I'm good!) The ending of the book was also not a disappointment. Finished it feeling maybe a little wiser and much better about my own relationship, after relating to some of the thoughts of the main character. Anyway, this book kinda hits home once you've finished it, so if you do get bored, stick with it and you won't be able to put it down!!

I received an eARC via NetGalley. I made no guarantee of a favorable review and the opinion expressed here is unbiased and my own.

I will admit that though it took me a bit to get into the swing of this story I eventually found myself getting caught in the web this author weaved. The story line did start off slow but once it picked up I enjoyed the fantasy and the beautiful characters. I must say that I loved the cover and that's the main reason why I picked this book to read.

I feel like all that really needs to be said is: Girl Power. This book has it, is about it, and is not quiet about it.
The story has wonderful elements of humans and a beautifully explained view of so many types of Yokai. I really enjoyed seeing all of the different types and learning more. I just wish the plot didn't swing so many times from person to person. It ended up a bit jumbled.
While I enjoyed the story and the different takes on Yokai I was not a fan of the ending. That is the reason for the 3 stars.
