 Old hat, but in decent condition January 8, 2009
I ploughed into this book thinking it was going to be different from the Women of the Otherworld books, and i was a bit disappointed that it was set in the same world, just with a new bunch of characters (that i suspect are going to mingle with the Otherworld characters in later books).
That said, it was a good enough read. There are some interesting characters and events, it's written more plainly than some of Armstrongs earlier books, but i think thats because its more of a young adults book rather than an adults book. Could do with chopping down by about 25% because its a little slow, but as a first in a series i expect it'll be faster in book 2.
Armstrong is NOT coming off my favorite authors list.
Recommend to anyone wanting a quick read, not too heavy.
 Pale version of ealier Armstrong books November 5, 2008
I was looking forward to reading this new offering, however the goods failed to deliver. The characters and the plot are just pale versions of those found in her ealier books, which are way way much better than this. I supose if you've never read any of Kelley Armstrongs books then you might find this interesting. However compared to Bitten, Stolen or Industrial Magic it's just boring and transparent. I'm still hopefully for the other books coming out soon, but at the moment I'm not so eager to read them. Such a shame.
 Good Start October 17, 2008
This was a really good start to a new series with Armstrongs usual flair for writing a gripping story.
P.S. What happen with the front cover of the book? Ugly (not in a good way)
fab fab fab fab! October 7, 2008
I really enjoyed this book, a great young adult novel. It definatley leads onto another book no different from any author really.
The charachters were well planned and interesting. I loved the otherworld series and couldn't wait for this one to come out.
In the UK this book came out in paperback so didn't set me back a fortune (3.25 on amazon) so would definatley buy the next in the series.
If you like LJ Smiths Secret Circle or Meg Cabot 1-800-Where-are-you series, you should like these.,
But be warned this is not like to other otherworld books
New series for Kelley Armstrong October 4, 2008
I've been a fan of the Otherworld series for some time and although I am not the target audience for this book I bought it because I enjoy the author's books.
Well I was not disappointed, the story was really good and I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.
