Beer, Books and Boos

 This story had me hooked from the very start and I could hardly put it down. Mara had me feeling everything she was feeling and I loved it. I am a sucker for a haunted house story and I am glad I picked you this one. I also fell in love with Neil and his mother even though we really didn't see her until close to the end. The twist and turns had me on the edge of my sit, it kept had me guessing which I loved. I will be picking up more of from Darcy Coates and I already have the next book picked out. 

  “Cohoe transmutes the legend of the Philosopher's Stone into a dark, intoxicating tale of ambition, obsession, and sacrifice. Prepare for a magic that will consume you.” - Rosamund Hodge, New York Times bestselling author of Cruel Beauty and Bright Smoke, Cold Fire I want to start off by saying I am in love with this cover, it is what drew me to the book. Then I read the synopsis and it hooked me even more. Once I started reading I could hardly put it down but I do have to say that the main character Thea Hope was a little too arrogant for me. She did grow on me through out the book along with the others. I was fine with the pacing for the book and it kept me entertained, and it was easy to keep up with what was going on. Towards the end it started to feel a little rushed but it didn't take away much from the story. I just wish there was more, That is why I only gave it three stars, I will be picking up more from this author. I will also be recommending this to my friends cau
