I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and its take on the different supernatural species. In this world, everything and everyone is divided into two classes - sun class and moon class, with the sun class taking control of the day and the moon class taking over the night, a ruling determined after the previous Shadow War. I loved the way the world changed when it was time to cross from one class ruling to the other.
Theia is a young teenage Elkie, whose mother decides to uproot their small family and change everything that Theia has ever known. Unfortunately for Theia, her life doesn't change for the better when her mother announces her pending marriage to a sun mage, one who is running for the mayor of New York.
It wouldn't be so bad if he was a nice, gentle man, but the complete opposite is true and he will stop at nothing to get what he wants and if Theia stands in his way, then she better look out pretty sharpish! Theia, though, is no pushover and with the help of her friends and new allies, she is determined to stop him at any cost!
This book was fast paced and the main characters were really likeable, even Nik with his lying and hidden secrets had a likeable side. Theia was a great main character - feisty, determined, caring and completely devoted to doing what is right! Just wish her mother could see what a great young girl she is, but she seems to be wearing a pair of blinkers to everything going on around her!
I can't wait to find out what happens to Theia and the gang in the next book and hope the others are able to do something to help her out of that final tricky situation Theia found herself in!
Thank you to Gabby and Charlie for sending me this book to read - was a great read to what I hope will be an intriguing and exciting series!
