I was operating under the assumption that this was a standalone, but almost all of my critiques are no longer valid since learning it's a series. However, i will comment that we are only ever told how bad the guild is by dead characters, making it hard to believe they are in fact a bad organization. We don't see the guild hurt or manipulate anyone: it's all secondhand recounting. The stakes regarding the guild plotline need to be raised in book one so that people care about it in subsequent books.
I'm also interested in how dunbar handles russ's addiction, which i rarely ever see in ya, but not enough to continue the series.
Also what is charlotte's last name??? Is it north or norris or norton? And someone needed to proofread it an extra time before release.

CW: death of a loved one, drug use
What can I say? It just wasn't for me. It started off good, but then I lost the plot. The characters didn't grab me, nor did the plot. It was easy to read and was very readable, just that I wasn't into the story. Sadly. Maybe one day I'll come back to this and change my mind, but, right now, I just wasn't into the book.
