The world James creates is an interesting take on the paranormal and I found the story to be interesting and entertaining. It's full of surprises and twists, which I always enjoy. This easily could've been a 5 star read if not for all the grammatical errors: misspellings, misplaced punctuation, words that don't belong, etc. I received an ARC and in the hopes that my copy was before final editing, I read it on KU - didn't help. If you don't mind the errors, then by all mean, read this one. It's truly an interesting world. Properly edited, this book could be great!

I enjoyed this book as a whole but there were two things I really disliked.
1. Everybody kept her in the dark about very important, life-saving things.
2. Her friend Molly was weaker than the weakest creature alive! She was just useless and I even don't know what to call her! Her weakness is beyond words! I have never read about such a character!
Well, I don't say that everything important should be revealed in the very beginning but I really hate it when a character asks questions and receive no answers and then, when they do tell her something it stars with "Oh, I am sorry. I thought you knew."- Well, how is she supposed to know when no one tells her anything? She is a death chaser, not a mind-reader!
Another thing that I wasn't really fond of but didn't really have a big problem with is the fighting. She learnt to do it and built abs in TWO days. I wish it was possible. I really do.
Excluding all of this, I can say that I enjoyed it. It was better than I anticipated and the idea is quite interesting but there are things that could have been done better.
I don't want to go into details about this one. I just don't feel like it and I will keep it short as I've been doing all the time this week. It was good, there is potential to the idea and the series, you just have to not look for something out of the ordinary marvellous or you have to be a less experienced reader in this genre and in the books as a whole.
