Overall, I enjoyed this book. The characters were entertaining and interesting, and the take on the traditional ‘angels' and ‘demons' was fantastic. The lack of religious bias was great, something I was worried about upon reading the synopsis on the cover. I was not, however, in love with the writing style. The story is excellent and unique, but I found myself skimming along more then reading. I'll be checking it's sequel out at the library when it's released as I do want to know what happens, but this isn't one I would buy.
