It's reminiscent of other UF series enough to be interesting, but I find the brothers more compelling than the protagonist - Khara. I'm confident my prediction for the rest of the series will be true.... Khara is Oz's (typical fallen angel hiding a secret) soulmate and she saves him (from his recent Dark One status - which I think he accepted out of desperation to fly again and see Khara). As Oz said people can change if something starts that change in them - and Natush alluded to Oz's change since Khara's arrival. Pierson or Casey dies - someone in the PC circle has to die in order to create some drama. Khara finds her mother (A Dark One with enough love to hide Khara from Ares) and Ares - I predict the mother dying to save Khara from Ares' wrath. Hades is unable to help despite his loving Khara like a daughter. Deimos continues his obsession with her only to be defeated by Oz - because really, that has to wrap up. Idk if I'll read others. It's a fine book, but just fine. Read the Weird Girls by Robson, The Black Dagger Brotherhood by Ward or The Hollows by Harrison instead.

The characters are interesting - with Remy being my favorite - A Hawaiian French-Canadian with tribal tattoos. Addison acts like an 18 year old college kid in word, action, and emotion. I had a strong Jennifer Lawrence visual when I read her dialogue. I received an ARC of the second in the series, which prompted this read. It's a fun series. http://jenkellyread2.weebly.com/new-a......more

I did listen to the audio book, so have no idea how the physical format is. I would use this book as a model for storytelling through letters. Also, I love the language, voice, and eventual wrap up for the big problems. Very well done. 8th grade + classroom library. ...more
