Riona

Jeni Enjaian

I absolutely loved this book. 

There was just something about these characters (and the story even though I've read it multiple times and have the plot nearly memorized) that grabbed me and wouldn't let go. I did not want to put it down.

Once again, miracles are present in this story and even an angel who takes the form of an invisible friend. (That's not really a spoiler...it's sort of hinted/guessed at throughout the book.) Once again I saw nothing out of place with the use of the supernatural. They definitely were intrigal to the plot rather than devices of deus ex machina.

A couple things kept me from giving the book five stars. One was Kiernan's conversion. I couldn't find the tipping point. That may have been my fault though for reading the book too fast. The second was the character Mebh. While I found most of her actions believable, I found it somewhat hard to believe that Riona would entrust the children to her car so soon after she had poisoned (albeit accidentally) Leila. 

Besides this I found nothing wrong with the book and can't wait to read the third in the series.
