 Thank you for NetGally and Daphne Press for providing me with an ARC for an honest review.

I loved this book! I have already read the first two installments and am expecting the wonderful special edition from Illumicrate on my doorstep any day now. When i got the chance to read it early though i could not resist.

This book continues the storyline of the previous two books and although i still think this entire series could benefit from a little more spice. As in any at all, for there is hardly more than kissing. This is a plot driven book and not romance so in the end it is not needed but would have been nice and for me would have made a lot of sense for the Luminaries live a live that is dangerous and they could die young so they should totally live for the moment.

I love how Winnie finds her feet and het friends and doesn't feel like an outcast anymore however, typical case of be careful what you wish for. With all the luminaries coming in from different country's she is paraded across town to do the rounds as the midnight crown.

Because of the visiting Luminary, i had hoped to hear a little more about there towns and forests because that is a missed opportunity. For there was told that this forest is relatively young and Winny is defiantly nerdy enough to want to know about possible other monsters she could draw ;).

There are some twists and turns in the book but a lot of the questions Winnie and het WTF crew are looking for will be answered. I also love how the book ends with rounding of any open questions in the last chapters. Or does it...............................

This is a perfect book to read in the fall season around Halloween. If you like monsters young adult romance and nerdy bad ass, smart ass, kick ass main characters Winnie (Winona) Wednesday is your gal!
