This was a quick read, but there didn't seem to be much substance to it. It's the first book in a quartet and it honestly felt more like a first section of a novel than a book on its own. Maybe that was intentional, but I didn't care for that. I don't plan to continue with this series.

Lying will get you killed
Interesting take on the witch/paranormal genre. A young witch coming in to her powers. A gigantic, gorgeous fairy. The obligatory cat (that is nowhere to be found during the story) and monsters. You've got to have dark forces to fight.
An interesting book that is worth a read.

For my this book was short to my which I personally don't know how I felt about that. Don't get me wrong the author is a wonderful writer. It just seemed rushed.
If you want a quick read that will keep you wondering then this is a good.
