Pretty good. 3.5 stars. The premise of the story is really interesting but there was just too much stuff happening for me to really keep up. All these different tiers, portals, angels, dead people etc. and I tuned out for small parts of the book. However, it had real promise and I'm really excited for the next book. I have a really good idea who her guardian angel is and I'm excited to see if I'm right :)

I won this book from Goodreads Giveaways.
I liked this book more than I thought I would. I can't wait to read the second book The Black Portal. The only problem I had with this book was too much F bombs being dropped from one character. I did grow to like that character so I didn't bug me as much.

4.5 Stars
Really liked this book. The characters are great. Especially liked Mumbles for some reason, man of few words lol. Evie is well liked heroine, she has her freak outs but is still well grounded, polite but no pushover, and kicks ass when the situation called for. The murder mystery was well done, had my suspicions halfway thought but couldn't be too sure till the end and then ended up being wrong, was on the right track though! Nice twist at then end. Romance was alright, that's why this is a 4.5 not a 5. I liked Lucas but I don't know there was just something off. And Joshua I definitely do not like, the golden boy and secondary love interest. I just wish he was out of the picture, ugh. The concept of of the afterlife was really well thought out, I am still a bit confused about the tier and such, but all in all great book, and Can't wait to read the next one!

Read as part of [b:Our Own Brand of Heroine|21838990|Our Own Brand of Heroine|Laura Bradley Rede|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1396446686s/21838990.jpg|41105771]. Idea was cute and it was reasonably well executed, but it lost a lot of momentum in the middle of the book and never quite got back to the blithe snarky tone it started with.
