Such a good story. This book caught my attention because it was a new concept to me. Both main characters were good. I like the MFC better. Varo is just like everyone else trying to get by in the life he is stuck in. I took a liking to the brothers as well.The concept of this story was good. The world she built was good and different. Not everything was pretty and beautiful. It was real, I could picture them in my head as if I was walking down some of these roads myself. This was an easy enjoyab
Engrossing. Utterly engrossing. From page one Asura and her brothers were characters with depth and dimension. They had my heart. Varo was a monster but also had his own story that made him a character I felt for. I can’t wait to continue the series.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
