What an unusual and captivating novel! Many cool things in regards to the paranormal, but my favourite is the idea that flyers work with the police department to gather intel, often stealthily. The crime investigation was intriguing and the more Katelin worked on the case, the harder it was to set the book down. There were also many plot twists that kept me eager to read the next chapter.*I was given a free copy of this novel and voluntarily chose to review it.* This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I didn't have any problem getting into this book and especially liked how the point of view changed between Kaitlin and David during the first part. I wished it kept alternating that frequently during the latter parts of the book. The main character, Kaitlin, was difficult for me to relate to, but I was intrigued by the idea of a witch being part of a police department. As I read, I kept hoping for a more in-depth description of her stick, but I still don't have a clear picture of it in my mind. The mystery didn't excite me right away, but my curiosity increased as the investigation continued. I definitely didn't expect that ending!My favorite thing about this book is how well Steven Popkes portrayed Columbia, Missouri during the first part of this book. I spent part of my undergraduate education there, and it is replicated accurately, right down to Shakespeare's pizza. Unfortunately, even though they repeat the phrase "Welcome to Witchlandia" several times throughout the story, I still don't understand what it means. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I had a hard time getting into this book. I now that it's a work of fiction but it just seemed very unrealistic. I had a hard time with the flow as well, it seemed a little choppy. I also don't understand why they had to keep repeating "Welcome to Witchlandia" as if that just explained everything. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I received this book through the Early Reviewers program and this is my honest and unbiased opinion. Wow! This is an incredibly unique book. I kept trying to figure out what was going to happen and was consistently wrong until the very end. I haven't read anything quite like it. I don't want to give any spoilers, but if you're into police procedurals and the paranormal, and the unexpected, this is definitely for you. The blurb is accurate with this one (sometimes they don't describe the book very well). My only qualm with it is one spot with the language, with is definitely, at least in my opinion, discriminatory against people with disabilities (I keep an eye out for that): "that FV [first violin] looks like a spastic on parade." That was disappointing, and there was no real reason to use that language, because something else would have worked. That's the only thing I thought was objectionable. There's a scene later on that might bother some people, but in the context it makes perfect sense, and that's pointed out by one of the characters. It's really very different than what I was expecting (I wasn't sure what to expect) and I would read something else by the author, as well as recommending this. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

To be perfectly honest, I started this book several different times, but always put it down in favor of another story. It wasn’t until I decided that I would finish and review this book before I’d start another one that I was actually able to finish it. The story line just didn’t grab my attention like I had hoped it would at the beginning. About half way through the book, I was finally ‘hooked’ enough to finish. The story ended on a somewhat high note, though I won’t give any spoilers here! There were also a few twists to the story but they only enhanced the storyline. All in all, I’d give it three and a half stars. ( )
