This author, whether a rising star or a seasoned veteran, has crafted the pages that whisk readers away on this series' journey. This book is incredible in its own right, and once you get past the slight similaries at the start, and they are only slight similarities; you get to the thumping heart of the book and when you reach that point, you will be totally hooked on it and won't want to stop reading for anything.

I bought this book on the basis of the number of very positive reviews, particularly those comparing the book to the Harry Potter series. Each book represents a chapter in the broader narrative, introducing new twists, turns, and perhaps the occasional talking dragon (disclaimer: dragons depend on the genre). She has been passed through quite a number of foster homes and has had some very bad experiences in all but the last one; The last foster home was with the Smith family. Yes it has ever so slight samesy situations as Harry Potter, like orphanened, magic and there’s a kind of school element I guess. So I can see why it’s been likened to the adult Harry Potter, but honestly until reviews were read, I didn’t even think about HP.Add in a diabolical plot concerning blood thirsty gargoyles and you are guaranteed one hell of a ride. There were apparently other verbs that were used even more (73 chuckles vs 17 smirks), but once I started noticing it it just seemed like all any of the characters were doing was smirking and it got really distracting. It's the perfect spot for readers to get a glimpse of what lies within the pages, helping them decide which book to dive into next. I want to know more about Harley's relationship with the venomous snake-like beast locked up in the Beastiery.

Able to read other peoples emotions, she is invaluable at her job in the casino where she's employed catching card sharks, and she's very good at her job which is in the human world. Remember, the journey through a book series is not just about reaching the end but also about the memories created along the way. Alone in the world from the age of 3 yrs old, with nothing but a short note from her father; she has no memory of either of her parents and doesn't even know their names.It kept my attention to the end, I didn't realise who the culprit was for all the mischief going on in both worlds right up until they were revealed, which was great! It took my a while to start reading the fever series, the description of them just didn’t sound like something I would be into. Their background, style, and influences often shine through in their writing, making each book a unique experience. As she begins to learn who she is, she uncovers a terrible hidden past about herself and her family. However the book does have some positive elements (hence the three star rating); it is well written, there are a few well crafted action sequences and the story had a couple of original ideas around how magic might be used in a magical society.
