This was first Mel Todd book. This was set in an urban fantasy world. This was a delight to read and did have me fully vested in the story after the first chapter. The main character, Cori, was a wonderful story focus. The remaining characters were great additions. At this time, this is the first book of a four book series. This is packed with zigzags throughout and I will be reading the next installment soon. I gave this a 4/5 rating. You should give this a try, you won’t regret it.
**Spoiler Alert**
