I quite enjoyed this book. I especially loved the strange vintage photographs. 
The characters felt a bit one dimensional, we didn't learn much about any of them except for their abilities. This even extends to the main characters, I thought Jacob would have some depth especially as Riggs detailed Jacob's mental health issues in the beginning but his struggles just disappear and he copes remarkably well with everything else that happens. 

I found it easy to read, engaging and would recommend to 10-14 year olds. A great quirky, paranormal fantasy book.

I’m not really sure why, but this book really didn’t grab my attention. The premise was good but I think the writing fell flat. While using the pictures was a great way to do something different, it was a stretch and felt too forced sometimes.

Finally after promising myself I would pick up this book series for years, I did it. I do not regret it. This book surprised me in many ways and the pictures were one such surprise but I l thoroughly enjoyed this book. If your a fan of magic stories then I would recommend this.

The beginning took me a while to get through, but when I reached a certain point, I couldn't put the book down!
