Magic mirrors, rampaging Hellspawn, and it’s only Tuesday. Whether it’s called Halloween, All Hallows’ Eve, or Samhain, for Artemis Schäfer, it’s spelled trouble. It’s a time when the Veil between worlds is at its thinnest, when sometimes things break through from the Otherworld. And sometimes they have a helping hand. When enchanted mirrors let a legion creatures through the Veil, Artemis has three challenges. First, find out who sold the mirrors to unsuspecting customers around London. Second, deal with the demons that break through. Third, try not to make a fool of herself when she catches Liam with another girl. Saving the world? Easy. Figuring out boys? Give her a city full of demons any day. Even Halloween. Don't miss the first book in the series, Blaze, available now and book 3, Legacy coming November 28!
Monique was born in Houston, Texas, but her family soon moved to Southern California. She grew up on both coasts, living in Connecticut and California. She currently resides in Southern California with her naughty Siamese cat, Monkey.
Monique attended the University of Southern California's Film School where she earned a BFA from the Filmic Writing department. Monique worked in television for several years before joining the family business. She now works full-time as a freelance writer and novelist. Her novels Out of Time, When the Walls Fell, Fragments & The Devil's Due are the first three books in the Out of Time series.
She's currently working on an adaptation of one of her screenplays, her father's memoirs about his time in the Air Force's Air Rescue Service and the next book in the Out of Time series.
I enjoyed this second in the series more than the first. The story was more interesting and kept me engaged to the end. I thought there was a little too much "detective work" and investigation details, and it sometimes became boring. I would rather see more of Artemis in action as the Blaze. I still recommend this book (and the first) and eagerly await the third installment.
“It isn’t what we are that defines us, but who we choose to be.”
“The fear can’t hold you if you just keep moving.”
Lots of good things in this book. Good plot. Cute love interest. Cliff hanger ending.
Unfortunately the amount of super obvious grammatical errors was obnoxious and some repetition with certain concepts back to back that knocked off a star.
But more importantly, I AM 100% READING THE NEXT BOOK 📖
These books are just absolutely wonderful! I’m a sucker for a heroine who’s walking the tightrope between light and dark. I adore Artemis and her father is just the cutest (if a bit overprotective). I love that they have a partnership—a fresh perspective for YA. A great series for fans of Cassandra Clare and/or Buffy!
