I've barely started and I already love this book. The world building is so good and the characters are already starting to feel fleshed out.

Chapter 16:
Damn, Bailey really knows how to draw out the tension. She keeps giving us a more pieces of the puzzle of the past, but not enough to really understand anything. Talk about deliciously frustrating.

Prologue:
I've only finished the prologue and I'm already hooked. This is going to be good.

Chapter 7:
Okay, I thought it before when we saw the reaper, but I think that she's part reaper. She seems to have similar abilities as the reapers, her blood tastes and acts like death, and her power lets her become incorporeal.

Chapter 5:
Oh man, that was a nice fake out with the SUV. Blake really knows how to ramp up the tension.

Ch. The Cost of Gain:
Well, things just got interesting. Victor said that the reason he was looking into the death of Domnall was because he was valued. But, the level of effort he's putting into this suggests he wants something else/more. The question is whether they'll figure out what that is before it's too late.

Ch. Thigh-High Rubbers:
I'm a little confused here because at some point in the original plan making, Slater brought up them coming up with a way to permanently kill the Dreamer. But since then, talk has only been of sealing it up again.

Ch. Break & Repeat:
Frost really knows how to add interesting twists and turns in her story telling. I love that this particular one has come with a lot of character development and growth for Adie.

Ch. Pulse:
That was beautiful. I love how Domnall's arrogance and greed ended up being his downfall. I don't think they could have planned it better.

Ch. Something Sweet:
See, we're back at the plot hole. I don't see how Domnall can sense the magic that's in her bag, but not sense the arm band and the necklaces. I feel like there should have been something added to the story where the guys do something to prevent their items from being noticed by him.

Ch. Cleanup:
So, there's a bit of a plot hole here. Domnall can supposedly sense witch/Hunter magic, yes? So, back at the house and just now, why didn't he notice that Adie has an arm band and necklaces that uses that magic? Like, even the guys noticed the arm band. And, both the arm band and necklaces were active during the fight, so Domnall should have noticed them and it's weird that he didn't.

Chapter 13:
I thoroughly enjoyed the haunting. As Adie said, it reminds me a lot of my videogames. Plus, it was pretty hilarious to see a parody of that trope.

Ch. (un)Professional:
Oh my god, Adie is a genius. She really is quite good at making the best out of bad situations.

Ch. Kitty Cave:
I absolutely love the relationship Adie has made with Tac. It's so wholesome and adorable.

Ch. Energy Rights:
Oh man, there's just something satisfying about a strong woman putting a man in his place when he tries to assault her. That was bad ass and kinda hot too. I'm already loving the MC so much.

Chapter 6:
I really don't know why they thought it would be a good idea to go to a public restaurant (that's not warded) when someone's trying to kill them.

Chapter 10:
Well, we already knew Mal was pretty badass, but he's gotten taken out so quickly before that he hasn't gotten the chance to show us until now. But taking on two full Angels? That was something else. It definitely seems that, in this series, defensive magic is much stronger than offensive magic which makes for really interesting story telling/strategy used in the fights.

Chapter 8:
This chapter is deliriously good. I love the relationship between Price and Ezra as well as Price's attitude and strength. I also really want to get into the head of Death and see what he saw as well as learn what he meant when he said she's a mage of old blood.

Chapter 11:
Okay, I'm officially in love with this book. Even the side characters have such a great sense of humor and I love that the author so easily weaves in things to the story like Price's staff deciding to make her pizza place demon themed.

Chapter 9:
Well, Ezra sure has a sense of humor. Not only did he send a hellhound, but it took the form of a lap dog. I can feel tears forming in my eyes from the hilarity.

I'm listening to the audiobook and the beginning is soooo good!

Chapter 33:
I'm thinking that Michael is probably going to end up having a huge fight with Vanessa when she visits him in Atlanta. I'm also betting that she's cheating on him with his brother. Either way, I don't think their relationship is going to last past Atlanta.

Chapter 12:
Well, I spoke too soon about forgetting the clothing. But, I hate that it was left alone for so long. Her shirt and bra would have been pushed all the way up her chest. It seems more likely that she would have either pulled them back down or taken them off immediately after being released from the belt. It's just super awkward all around.

Chapter 11:
Well, during her session with Pax, he only pushed her shirt and bra out of the way. But, it seems like the author forgot about that because, by the time Copeland shows up, she's fully naked. It's a little frustrating.

Chapter 3:
I'm loving how we're being introduced to the guys in the band. Like, the author makes it pretty obvious to the reader who they are/will be, but the MC is totally in the dark. I love that.

Chapter 20:
So, I didn't really like the sex scene much. But, it was mostly because I couldn't stop wondering what Ruse was thinking. He's been avoiding intimacy with Sorsha, but the second she offers it he accepts. It makes me wonder if the moments of jealousy he's had spurred him to actually do what he wanted to do rather than hold back. I really wish I could have seen this scene from his perspective.

Chapter 25:
Quote - "Some teenagers got grounded. I got sentenced to black-tie galas."

Chapter 23:
I'm dying with laughter over Avery trying to go visit Skye without her security knowing only for them to show up soon after she gets there.
