I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
Claire Beckett starts out as our average run-of-the-mill officer. Events transpire in which she gets herself into some trouble and she ends up transferred to being an officer in Crescent City. Here, she learns about a whole new side of the world she never knew existed, one that she just happens to be part of.
This book was a fast, fun read. It was very well written and everything tied up nicely, except of course the main mystery that carried over into the next book.
I’m torn between liking and being annoyed with Claire. She’s a strong protagonist but at the same time is very annoying. She deliberately goes out of her way to break the rules and seems surprised when she gets caught. She’s rude to almost everyone she interacts with. However, she has a lot going on. From the deaths of her mother and best friend to finding out she’s a witch, it’s a lot for a girl to handle. Hopefully her character will develop better in the subsequent books.
The story itself was great. It moved along quickly and was utterly entertaining. I enjoyed the X-Files feel to it. It left off perfectly to tie into the next book in the series.
I rate this book 5 stars.
