Excellent, excellent, excellent book. Very creative and unique take on the old "mysterious immortal boy meets teenage girl" business. The mystical world that Mangum builds for us and all the detail it contains is incredibly interesting.

I love seeing that Abby's life goes on outside of the paranormal world as well as in it. I love that she is a strong character, and though she's "special" she's not suddenly and magically the most powerful person ever in the whole world. The fact that we only find things out as the characters do can be frustrating, but also intensifies your desire to keep reading.

There are a few flaws, like the fact that the book starts with Abby not being the spontaneous, adventurous girl she "used to be". Since we don't know anything about her character yet, it was kind of a surprise for me to hear that. By the end of the book we see that Abby much more clearly. There are also a few aspects of the "time" business and some powers that aren't explained very much, but I'm hoping it'll be expanded upon in the future books.
