I have just pick this series up at book 2 and I read this easily as a stand alone book. I have not gone back at the moment to read the first book but will do in time. This book had me griped from the first chapter and was intrigued to consume as much of the book in one sitting.

I loved the characters of Lila and Elizabeth two strong females leads and both just as sassy and stubborn as each other, the secondary characters enhanced the story and injected more mystery into the story. I do have to say the plot and twists and turns where excellent and the story flowed and held my interest all the way through. I can’t wait to read more of this duo in the future.
