I made it to page 70/344. I love the cover but just couldn't get into it. The childish writing and storytelling left me uninterested.

I have read all of Cat Winters books and I have to say this one ranks up there with A Steep and Thorny Way (which was my favorite book of hers to date). I enjoyed this so much more than her previous book, Yesternight.

I really enjoyed this Cat Winters book about two monster hunting sisters. It's an interesting story that is as much about the hardships of growing up, as it is about hunting down a monster. I enjoyed the idea of these monster themed stories driving a lot of the characters' lives.

This was a unique read in an interesting setting. I loved the close relationship between the two main sisters, Od and Tru. Despite all of the chaos (or maybe because of) they support and help each other in a way that is admirable and sweet.

The story ends in an excellent place and I absolutely loved it. I would love to read more about Od and Tru. The story ends up having more of a magical realism tone to it than paranormal or urban fantasy. By the end you are not really sure what is real and what is not.

Overall this was an excellent story about hardships, growing up, monsters, and myths. I would recommend to those who enjoy paranormal stories set in the 1920's (or thereabouts in this time period). I can't wait to see what Winters comes up with next!
