5 Stars
Charlie is a seemingly normal girl in a world of magic. With shadows that can come to life and do the bidding of their master Charlie has to navigate the world as a con artist and a thief. She has earned herself countless enemies over her time, and her attempt to lay low is foiled when Lionel Salt gives her a job she can't refuse. Living with her sister Posey and her boyfriend Vince she enters into dangerous situations.
I have always love Holly Black and her writing. It was wonderful to see her switch to Adult fiction so seamlessly. Charlie is a great heroine, she is slightly unlikable and that's why I liked her so much. Posey on the other hand is a little annoying, and I didn't feel any attachment to her throughout the story. Vince is someone I would die for, he was a great love interest despite his slight dis-attachment to Charlie, which is later explained. I am curious to see where this series goes next after the cliffhanger you were left with.
