Luc Lazare is half human
and half something else. I don’t know what because I gave up at 42%. Skye Cross
is also something, but at least she conveniently finds her mother’s old Book of
Powers right when she needs it to explain what’s going on with the wonky things
she can do. And it’s a good thing she reads that book out loud to her brother’s
ghost so Luc can listen outside an open window and hear what she is since he keeps
asking her every time they meet and she doesn’t answer him.
At 42% I had to toss in
the towel. The characters are one-dimensional and stupid. There are SECRETS
galore with no reveal in sight. It’s confusing as shit, the dialogue is
stilted, and the pacing is herky jerky. It’s stagnant. The plot, what little
there is of one, is just stuck in quick sand and sinking fast. Also, who calls cops "coppers" in a book set in what I can only guess is modern times? Skye calls her brother and his fellow officers "coppers" up until I had to stop reading or gouge my eyes out with a spork. Wtf!? This is an
interesting world that got really shortchanged. The writing sucks. The end.
