This is a tough one to rate. On the one hand, the book never really lives up to the potential exhibited in the first couple of chapters; the author relies too heavily on telling, rather than showing, and the reader is never really given time for the information to settle; the characterization is rather shallow, and I really do believe that Selene should exhibit way more emotional trauma than she does. On the other hand, there's an interesting mystery at the core of the story, which I want to see unravelled, so I'll give book two a chance.

Got this book trough booksirens, the beginning is muddled and clearly setup as a start for the rest of the story and not in a good way but more a james bond "here you have this watch you will need later" . The characters are at the beginning more put trough the emotions they have to feel as in something more natural.
The story did intrigue me with enough hints to make you want to read a bit further.
I wish he had taken a bit more the time to srtup the story and let it flow more natural .
Overal a decent read and a good enough setup for the rest of the series.
