I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Sorry to say, this book was not for me. I almost DNF'ed about halfway through, but I stayed on until the end just to see if it got any better. It didn't.

The good things about this book:
1. The cat familiars. They're cute and I like the mythology of them.
2. There are a lot of different kinds of supernaturals, and I find that interesting.
3. The basic idea of a witch who has forgotten her past and identity is an interesting premise to start with.

My issues with this book:
1. The main character. She acts more like a spoiled teenager than an adult. I really couldn't relate to her at all and found myself just banging my head against the wall as she made more stupid mistakes.
2. The main character literally kills an innocent man at the beginning and it's nothing other than a footnote. Nothing comes from it, and she definitely doesn't seem that upset about it.
3. Sequoias on the East Coast. Yes, I know they're special magic sequoias, but still.
4. Ludo. I hated every scene he was in, and I don't think he's a good guy or someone who should be a love interest. He literally kidnaps her the first time they meet and yet she still things having a love affair with him is a good idea.

This book might appeal to some, but sadly I am not one of them.… (més)
