Review

Great book.

I read this in one sitting it was so enjoyable and it might finally be the encouragement I need to read the copy of Soulless I've had for ages. Exactly what I needed and a lot of fun too.

I have reread this book at least twice since I originally reviewed it and I might go reread it again. It's that good.
