4/5 stars
Wow where do I start? When Jason, new to the city to take care of his recently deceased grandfather's estate, gets mugged he thinks it's by your everyday-run-of-the-mill baddies, but when the beautiful Alex intervenes to save him with her quick moves and out of place ninja skills. From her first words about demons, Jason thinks Alex is the mayor of Crazy Town. But later that night, Jason is visited by another-very- dark character and his outlook on life and reality quickly get re-evaluated as Jason must quickly learn how to navigate in his new role through a world that was kept hidden from him.
Whitlock brings to the table an intricate and perplexed novel by weaving together old school mythology with some fresh ideas. The story is fast paced and at some points a little confusing. Some of the characters go by several names, which, were hard to keep up with. Some of the dialogue seemed out of place. Especially the amount of curse words used by the Guardian of Light. The ending was great; my favorite part of the whole book and I can't wait to see what else is in store for Jason and Co.
This novel was more or less like popcorn: flaws that are easily over looked and enjoyable enough to keep you wanting more.
