review 1: Although I like the characters… I like the writing when the characters are interacting… I just can’t get into the apocalyptic, time traveling, puzzle-solving without all of the pieces storyline…Zee, Dek, Mal, Raw and Aaz are cute little demon/zombie fighters… who live as tattoos on Maxine during the day and an armor that protect her, and awesome, cute terrors at night, consuming demons, hunting zombies, knowing things… they are just as likely to cuddle a teddy bear as to tear him apart and consume him… I like the way Dek and Mal'comment' on moments when she needs to make decisions with appropriate songs... like when faced with Grant - they sing softly 'Make Someone Happy'...Grant Cooperon – a voice that guides and soothes – even demons… he runs a halfwa... morey house – he is kind… he is damaged, walks with a cane… and in this story he finds out he is alien – a Lightbringer… who can do a heck of a lot more withhis voice tan soothe t savage beast… and he loves Maxine.In this story, the bad ancient aliens are out to kill Maxine and capture/use Grant… but with the help of Jack Meddle, Maxine’s yet good, ancient alien they come out on the other side.
review 2: It was an okay book in that sense because it did give quite a big opening into the backstory of the Hunter bloodlines. and in accordance to how the veil was built with what kind of creations were created after the veil was constructed.There is a lot of backstory as to who Maxine Kiss is as well as a perspn due to the fact that her ring that she inherited in the previous book takes her back in time twice again to two different points in time. Where she meets both her mother and grandmother in two different occasions.You can eventually see how the book ends, roughly about halfway through the book which doesn ruin it a bit in that sense, but then again it is a relatively okay read. less

Good, but very dream-like in parts. Sometimes tough to follow, but mostly makes sense in the end.
