Title: Entertaining
Review: This was my first urban fantasy, so it's possible I was more entertained than readers who are more familiar with the genre. Although I generally prefer multiple viewpoints, I ended up enjoying the first-person telling in spite of being initially frustrated with the heroine's distrust and general negativity. It took me awhile to get into the story, but a third of the way in, I was hooked. The ending was satisfying and my only bone is knit-picky: I understand this is the first of the series, but I would have liked the Ivy question answered. The pacing was somewhat uneven, but that's not really a big deal as I was never bored. What won me over was the growth and development of the characters and the gradual alternate-reality world building. I was rewarded for my patience with Rachel, too, as she slowly learned to trust. She was kick-ass, but vulnerable too. I will definitely be reading the next book in the series.
