First Line: “My brother Barron sits next to me, sucking
the last dregs of milk tea slush noisily through a wide yellow straw.”
“In a world where magic is
illegal, Cassel Sharpe has the most dangerous
ability of all. And that makes him a wanted man. The Feds will forgive his past
crimes if he leaves them all behind and goes straight. But that means being on
the opposite side of the law from Lila, the girl he loves. She’s the daughter
of a mob boss and getting ready to join the family business herself. Though Cassel is sure she can never love him back, he can’t stop
obsessing over her. And now the Feds need Cassel
to get rid of a powerful man who is out of control. But if they want Cassel to hurt people, what separates the good guys from
the bad? With no easy answers and no one he can trust, love might be the most
dangerous gamble of all.”
My Rating: 4.5/5
I’ve
really gotten into third series instalments lately, haven’t I? Sorry readers
who haven’t read the first two books, soon I’ll be with a novel that you can
easily follow without having to read past posts. Back to the topic. This book
really dig deeps into the world that Holly Black has created in which there are
curseworkers who roam among everyday people. I loved that the characters
expanded to the point that I felt like I knew them and was able to picture
them. It was interesting to jump into the idea that politics would play with
these extraordinary skills and those who were given them.
On
another note, I thought this was the last book in the series, but the ending
has me questioning that. Think they’ll be another one? Tell me what you think.
THANK
YOU HOLLY BLACK FOR QUESTIONING WHETHER THERE IS A GOOD AND EVIL!
Thanks
for reading,
Love,
Sidny
