My rating: <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5781640812″>4 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
Wow what can I say about this book, it is gritty in its dealings with depression, the dark cloud that Spook is dealing with, the support he receives or should (from some people) also shows how others deal with their loved one and their mental health, and how they deal with the demons that follow from the past. Xane is there throughout the story alongside Spook and Alle. <br /><br />It is the first book in the series I have read and really, I need to back track and read the other three. <br /><br />The characters are extremely beautifully written, and they pull you along this extreme rollercoaster ride of a story. I am waiting to read more (after I finish the first few). <br /><br />Tissues are needed in parts of the book, and some may find the deep areas a little hard to navigate, but otherwise a thoroughly enjoyable darkish read.
