What made me pick this book up:
I had read the first one a few months back, and I really enjoyed it so of course I wanted to read the second.
What did I like about the cover:
This cover is stunning. The colors are beautiful, I love the look of London in the background.
The color pops of green and yellow are beautiful, and I love the blonde hair. Kind of a silly thing to like, but once you read the book you'll understand.
What made me read this book:
Like I said, I read the first one and loved it. I knew I wanted to read the second one, but wasn't sure when I would get the chance.
Well the author actually messaged me asking if I wanted a copy of the book to review and of course YES.
What did I like the most:
There was a lot I liked about this book.
First of all the whole idea of having a secret society of assassins, and naming them after Oz characters, is just awesome.
The characters are great and really well written. The main character does what she thinks is best, even when it might hurt her. All of the killers are so unique, and really interesting as well. I loved reading about them, but then again I have an odd thing for serial killers.
Anyway, the story itself is written really well, the characters are great, the idea of it all is amazing.
It's just a really good book.
I did have a hard time with the part where it started going supernatural, but then it grew on me and I'm really glad it's part of the story.
I really liked Monkey too, I don't know what it was about him, but I liked him.
The way that Nicky is tying everything together is great, and I really hope there's a third one.
What didn't I like:
I had the "who" figured out pretty quickly, so I think that was just a little bit disappointing. It should have made you think it was someone else at first, and then BAM. I don't like being able to figure it out too quickly.
But really, that's about it.
Would I read the rest of the series/more from this author?
YES NOW PLS
