Review: I picked this up to read at the request of Goodreads friend and Your Urban Fantasy member Kathie Ritchie who published this as her first work. All in all I thought the story was original and unique enough to stick out in my mind which is definitely a good thing considering the tons of books I read throughout the year. I see a lot of potential with the story, the world, and character development, especially in future novels. The beginning draws you in quite effectively. I do think the novel could use an additional round of editing to cut down on repetition and improve the flow of the story. It distracted me from the experience at times, but with tighter writing in the sequels (or even a revised version of this story) I could see it being a true standout. I also think a catchier titles could help draw more attention. The story is free for Amazon Prime members:
Congrats on the publication, Kathie, and good luck with your future works!

Yep, I’ll agree with you on all counts. If her book reads like the synopsis, it needs editing, and it does sound interesting.
