Questions are dangerous but answers can be deadly.
Callie’s world will be lost to war – unless she can unlock
the magic of an ancient manuscript. She and her friends will be sent to the
front line. Many of them won’t come back. When a secret order tells her she can
bring peace by reading from a book, it seems an easy solution - too easy.
Callie soon finds herself hunted, trapped between desperate allies and
diabolical enemies. The Order is every bit as ruthless as the paranormal
Cadaveri.
Callie can only trust two people – her best friend and her
ex-marine bodyguard. And they are on different sides. She must decide: how far
will she go to stop a war? Dare she read this book? What’s the price - and who pays it? (Publishers' blurb)
The premise of this immediately intrigued me and I really liked the idea of there being a manuscript in this world that was shaping history without most people knowing about it.
My favourite part of this book was the way the perspective shifted between Callie's first person viewpoint and other third person viewpoints, including the Cadaveri and political leaders. Due to the high stakes of stopping a world war, it was really interesting to get the views of the different people involved. I didn't a hundred percent get invested in Callie's overarching plot line for some reason, but overall I enjoyed seeing the events from different sides.
Another fun aspect was watching out for pop culture references. Any book that references Buffy has definitely won me over, and that wasn't the only reference that gave me a smile.
This is an action-packed book with an original premise and I'm really happy to have been involved in the blog tour!
