I thought this was going to be a simple profiling case. Fly to London, profile the murderer and go home. Maybe stop at some of the famous London Ripper murder spots my friend Scarlett is always going on about. If I have time. But ever since the plane touched down I've been getting these weird feelings and suppressed memories of Horace keep popping up. Best not to think on those. Then, this man Roan who saved me from a couple of thugs that first night is following me around acting like he has all the answers so long as I go along with his every plan. No matter how sexy he is he has just made it to the top of my suspect pool. I just have to solve this before I get sucked into all their weirdness going on in this city.
This book was a BookBub suggestion in 2017 and I have always enjoyed a good fantasy. The cover has fire on it, so it is a bit misleading to what you expect her power to be, but that is okay. Then I have this minor obsession with crime TV shows. I almost always have Criminal Minds, NCIS, Bones, or Castle on in the background when the kids aren't in the room. I have to have some kind of balance between all the cartoons the kids watch and my balance is murder.
While I struggled with the first person point of view in this book it didn't take too much away from the overall storyline. It just read more like a journal than a book because of it. I'm just so used to third person books that first person is out of the norm for me. The powers in this book were a bit atypical as well. The ability to travel through mirrors, feeding off emotions, and an invisibility potion that turns everyone invisible to the user.
I can't say that I had a favorite character in this book, although Roan did make it hard not to love him. A little stalkerish and very willing to take any advantage he can get, but loveable none-the-less. Gabriel was adorable, but he didn't really rank in the comparison. I would say it's like comparing Derek Morgan to Spencer Reed but I can't because I'm the odd one who would choose Reed over Morgan and there is nothing geeky about Roan.
I was pleasantly surprised as to who the murderer was until the scene right before we meet him. I kept expecting it to be the Fae King who had banned all pixies, but what happened works better for a later storyline, I'm sure.
