review 1: What? A somewhat cliffhanger ending??? NOOOO! And now we must wait and wait and wait for Book 4. While I like the world created here, I will be honest and say I don't feel as much urgency here as I do to read Karen Chance's Cassandra Palmer books, but the protagonist Alex is a likable character in that she's genuine and a little bit naive, but not of the sarcastic, snarky protagonist mold (which makes her a non-cliched character to me). She does seem to almost die way too often for someone who claims to be a professional. This book is action-packed and I am curious to see what happens next. So much is hinted at as far as what is "true" and what Alex knows, that the suspense is keeping me engaged and I am curious about how characters grow. It seems that each book is now goi... moreng back and forth between either Falin or Death being in her life as her Significant Other, although she hasn't committed to either one yet (which makes for an interesting triangle of angst), but given that we know so little about either character and Alex seems to be agency-less (as in she refuses to make any moves of her own), it could get frustratingly old soon.If you're contemplating this book and haven't read the series, I wouldn't read this without having read the others first.
review 2: Contains spoilers! I'm rooting for Death to find a way around the restrictions and end up with Alex because it's just too much pain otherwise! He's so sweet, and clearly he's loved her for a long time. I can't get over how amazing they were when he was willing to give up his (almost) immortality and become mortal for her. I ship them so hard. As great as Falin in, I never really liked him that much. He seemed ok, but a little creepy and strange. Not to mention when he first hooks up with Alex he says some pretty shitty things about how he thought she'd be easier than that. Yeah, that didn't exactly make me like him. I'd rather they just parted ways and Alex can end up with someone who truly loves her. less
