I couldn't really get into this book. It read like I should know things that I just didn't already know. The title lead me to believe it was a part of a world but not a next in series if that makes sense. Basically, a stand-alone set in the same town or place as previous books. But I spent a good bit of time wondering if one character had died in a fire and the importance of the agents going to this house full of so many characters who only pop up again at the end of the story whos names I don't remember. I read that entire scene like what is the importance of this?

So initially I was hyped for this story. A nice action pact story with a splash of paranormal and sprinkled with a side plot of romance. Honestly what's not to love. On a technical level at the beginning of the novel transitions were awkward. We'd be at one scene and then some sentence like 'now they were..." and I'd be like when did they start moving, weren't they just... how did... and so on. As the novel went on the transitions got much smoother so this turned into a fleeting issue but it stood out because it was at the beginning of the book.
