There Be Monsters Here. . .

It's not as great as you'd think, living in a tourist town that's known as "the most magical place in America." Same boring high school, just twice as many monsters under the bridges and rival Families killing each other for power.

I try to keep out of it. I've got my mom's bloodiron sword and my slightly illegal home in the basement of the municipal library. And a couple of Talents I try to keep quiet, including very light fingers and a way with a lock pick.

But then some nasty characters bring their Family feud into my friend's pawn shop, and I have to make a call--get involved, or watch a cute guy die because I didn't. I guess I made the wrong choice, because now I'm stuck putting everything on the line for Devon Sinclair. My mom was murdered because of the Families, and it looks like I'm going to end up just like her. . .

 

Lila was an amazing Heroine! I can’t help but admire her tenacity, her sarcasm, and her bravery! She acts tough but really, she’s a vulnerable person. I really related to Lila, I think that’s what made me love this book a little bit more. I like that Lila is realistic and practical. She knows what she can and can’t do. She’s pretty smart and she has priorities! Basically Lila is pretty bad ass and I wish I was her (Just saying). I loved all of the characters! I loved Devon, Oscar, Mo, and Felix, all these characters are complex and have a personality of their own and they also have priorities.The romance was not the main focus here and I think it was great!  But there’s a love interest,  and I feel like if it happened it I would ship it! The plot was amazing. Lila has to be Devons bodyguard after she protects him while they were at Mo’s shop and someone tries to kill him. Now Lila has to protect Devon while trying to find the people trying to kill him. I loved this book and once I got into it I couldn’t put it down. Um second book please! Anyway this book was amazing I would recommend this to my friends. Everyone should go buy it, because I know I will!

I would give this book 6 Cheshire Hearts!
