This book wasn't what I expected when I picked it up. I nearly gave up about a third of the way through, because I didn't like the writing style. But I decided to keep going a bit longer and eventually got drawn in to Loveday revealing her story. I think they could do with proofreading a bit more thoroughly as there were errors such as the wrong Harry Potter title and one point where the pronouns seemed to be muddled. Overall it was an interesting story but took a while to get going.
