Excellent! I loved every word, every sentence, every page. Excitement around every corner.With a kick ass attitude and a smart mouth, Maddy is by far my favourite character in this book. This book was never dull. Constant surprises jumped out and I loved it!Maddy's strong will and her ability to ...
By this book, I found myself wishing that the author had explored earlier themes. There was promise in her being one of the death collectors, working through and with her boss, and the mythology there. Instead, it feels as though the series has gone off the rails...the protangonist becomes a Mary...
My biggest problem...I don't read series one right after another. I started this one and was a little behind in who was who and what was going on. I quickly caught on and was enjoying the story. Madeline Black collects souls when they die and shows them the "door". Meanwhile, she has angels, ...
“The baby? You’re having the baby now?” “Yes,” I said. The pain was not intense, but it was definitely there. I could feel the baby moving inside me. I didn’t know if normal human moms could feel that when they were about to give birth, but I certai...
Hatcher showed no sign of recognition at being called by this name, but he crossed the threshold as though he belonged there nonetheless. “What happened to the girl?” the woman said, crossing to stoke the fire at the edge of the room. Alice shook of...

Gabriel sat on a hassock beside me, as I expected he would be, his brows knit together in a frown. He relaxed visibly when I looked at him. “You are well?” he asked. He made no mov...
I slammed my hand against the TV screen. “No! I didn’t see him. I couldn’t find him.”The news anchor started talking again. The still photo of me was up in the corner of the picture. Underneath the photo, in bright yellow letters, were the words, “Who is Madeline Black?”“Shut the TV off,” Jude sa...
He sat in a parlor covered in roses and this little man was small and neat, his head covered in golden-brown ringlets and his eyes bright and green like a rose’s leaves. He wore a velvet suit of rose red and he urged a cup of tea on his visitor, a wide-eyed girl who looked about her in wonder. Sh...
IT SAID AGAIN, AND ITS VOICE WAS tinny, fading away.I raised my sword above my head to finish it off.“All… your… fault,” it said, coughing. “Here… for you.”Was this creature telling me that Jayne had died because of me? That she was a lure to get to me?“Who sent you?” I demanded.It laughed, or tr...
