I really liked this book. I had a limited time to read it but was hooked enough to sit in my car after work and finish it. Ari is searching for information about her mother and gets more than she bargained for. She finds herself following a lead to the place of her birth in New 2, a city that houses it's own weird and wonderful people with different powers. She meets Sebastian, Violet, Crank, Henri and Dub who all offer her friendship despite her strange looks. Sebastian has a strong impact on Ari and they are in the throes of developing their relationship. It did seem to develop quickly but I think it added to the storyline. The whole story seems to be a downhill slide with so many twists and turns... it is fantastic. Ari discovers more about her mother and the curse that supposedly caused the death of her mother. Add in some mythology and witches, warlocks, lost fathers, harpy's and a spider lady and it makes for a great story. I loved Ari. She is brave, strong, puts others before her self even though she has had a hard upbringing... and I always like a character who is wary when people offer her friendship and then blossoms when she finally accepts that people like her for who she is. Read it. If I rated stuff, this would be 4.5 out of five... cause no story is ever perfect!
