I love the premise of this book. I love Shadow Pappy Nyte. The build up to and execution of the spice was pretty damn good, but there was something about the writing that left me wanting. I had difficulty keeping up with what was happening at a few points throughout the story because it just didn’t flow like it could/should have. I’ll absolutely read the next book, but I hope the author finds her footing with it. It was so odd—the bonus chapters were much better written than the rest of the book.
