This is a first book in the The Society of Nines Mystery Series.
This book really pulled me in. It started off being like a really good mystery, with a little thriller thrown in. the characters and plot were well drawn and that pulled me in completely and kept my attention until the end.
As the story progressed, however, things started to nudge into the front...paranormal/mystical like things. I really liked this book a lot, but at the ams time there was that undercurrent going on that made me feel like there was more going on that just a simple mystery story.
By the end of the story, I was so engulfed in the characters, that I knew I would be buying the next book(s) in the series.
Four stars.
