Nocturnal Book Reviews

I'm sure a lot of people have read this book already, so I'm jumping on the bandwagon quite late. Nevertheless, I have to say this book was great.

I didn't feel engrossed into the plot, but the writing was excellent, the characters pretty amusing and their humour sharp and snarky.

Alan with his goodie-two-shoes attitude was irritating, but then the end explained why he behaved like that.

Nick is fantastic. *I like the way you move, baby!* He is bad ass, detached and has this peculiar way of thinking. Sort of like teen Barrons :))

Mae and Jaimie made great sidekicks and spiced up things a bit.

There are some scenes that I absolutely loved like dancing on Goblin's Market or the creepy house on Isle of Wight. The whole book is Gothic and bleak and gray.

However, I couldn't care less about Olivia or Arthur, they felt cartoonish, not real, so most of my attention inevitably went to Nick.

Overall, great beginning of the series worth investing your time into. I will be reading more!
