Very well written and wonderfully suspenseful! Everyn Kildare's main character Denora is an interesting, complex protagonist and the paranormal world the author creates in Crow is fascinating and unique. I recommend this book very much! I think it's a great start to what looks like an awesome series!

Beautifully written. A book that truly leaves you wanting more. I didn't want to put this book down it sucks you in and places you in a magical world with well written and believable characters. I cannot wait for the next book!

Damn!
You know, I was all set to give this book four stars. The writing isn't perfect, but it's better than a lot of other books, and the story was well-crafted, if not a bit predictable. The world is vivid, detailed, and well thought out.
And then it ended. The main plot is not resolved. Perhaps it's not technically a "cliffhanger", but the last line of the book is something like "we'll deal with that tomorrow." The end.
I'm not a series fan in general (I much prefer standalones), but if I enjoy a story, I might be persuaded to read more in the same world. But I absolutely HATE cliffhangers. With a passion.
It's left a terrible taste in my mouth, and there's no way I'd ever consider reading the next book in the series now.

I read the beginning of this book on Wattpad and I liked it so much that I immediately bought it. I love urban fantasy and this is up there with some of my favourites. Kildare writes extremely well and weaves a wonderful fantasy into our modern day world. The characters are complicated and believable. The pacing of the story is excellent and the mystery quickly draws you in. I think one of the things that initially impressed me was the convincing portrayal of a troubled young woman dealing with her grief and the suicide of her friend. Having lost close friends in the past I found this issue was sensitively handled and utterly convincing. At that point I was hooked and the fantasy mystery / adventure took over and kept me engaged for the rest of the story. My only complaint was that it was over too quickly. If I was being really picky I would say that I'm not sure if I think the end was dramatic enough. However that could just be because I loved the story and wanted it to continue!
