Maybe I'm biased, maybe not, but one thing is for sure, I loved this book. When it first started, I wasn't sure what to think, It is written for a younger audience than me but I still wanted to give it a try and I am glad I did. After the start, the book picked up pace and became very engaging and riveting. I did not want to put it down, and stayed up well into the night in order to finish it. I loved the plot twists and that I could not predict what the ending would be. I loved the misdirection and suspense. While most mysteries become graphic, this one did not which was a welcome surprise. Everything was kept mild and instead relied on suspense and misdirection. A welcome change to the mysteries I normally read (i.e. James Patterson and Mary Higgins Clark, both of whom I love, but can both become graphic in their descriptions).
Even the description of the book is kept mysterious: A coven of witches, a teenage comic book magnate, a skinhead Neanderthal with violent propensities, an abusive father, an amorous science teacher, and a mistranslated medieval mathematics manuscript figure prominently in this new mystery set in modern-day Colorado.
I went into this book having no idea what to expect and ended very happy with the way it was written. I will definitely be reading the rest of the books in the series. 5/5 stars… (meer)
