My Thoughts:

I found the characters in this one to be relatablewhich is different for me because I don’t normally read fantasy books, so itwas nice for a change.

This book follows twins named Brenik and Bray whoare ‘bats’ which is something that you don’t read about very often in fantasyor it may just be me. They are complete opposite’s they have such a love hate relationship.It made the family side of the story seem more real. The way some of the thingsin the story happened had me more invested in the story although it did take mea few chapters to get fully immersed into the story and once I did, I couldn’tput it down. This book is filled with all types of supernatural life which was interesting to read about.

I highly recommend this book.
