My Review
I think this book is original. That pretty much sums it up for me. Its New Adult, Its Paranormal, Its Mystery/Detective, its got a little bit of everything and is perfect for the reader who isn't sure what they want to read next.
Cassie's character is very well developed and she really is a kick butt heroine. She is someone readers will be rooting for from the very beginning!
The plot keeps the reader on their toes and has an ending you will not see coming. Definitely a great start to a new series, I'm a fan!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Christine Amsden has been writing science fiction and fantasy for as long as she can remember. She loves to write and it is her dream that others will be inspired by this love and by her stories. Speculative fiction is fun, magical, and imaginative but great speculative fiction is about real people defining themselves through extraordinary situations. Christine writes primarily about people and it is in this way that she strives to make science fiction and fantasy meaningful for everyone.
At the age of 16, Christine was diagnosed with Stargardt’s Disease, a condition that effects the retina and causes a loss of central vision. She is now legally blind, but has not let this slow her down or get in the way of her dreams.
When she's not writing, Christine teaches workshops on writing, usually at Savvy Authors. She also offers professional editing services. She maintains a book review blog on her website with occasional writing tips thrown in for the fun of it.
Christine lives in the Kansas City area with her husband and two children.
LINKS TO BUY
From Publisher’s Weekly:
“In this entertaining series opener, Amsden (The Immortality Virus) introduces readers to the eponymous Cassie, a decidedly mundane member of a magical family. …Readers will enjoy Cassie’s fish-out-of-water struggles as she fights magical threats with little more than experience and bravado.”
