Ha, just kidding. I read spoilers 9 out of 10 times, which is why I try to avoid reviews that have them.

Because I'm all for zombies plus histfic plus steampunk. The spunky protagonist is just the cherry on top! I may wait to see how the sequel fares in reviews before committing to a new series though because I have so many on the go at the moment. Very enlightening review!

It seems seriously awesome! The MC seems very likable and relatable. I love how the writing was really able to immerse you into the story so well, I love when an author is able to do that! And these Spirit Hunters sound so cool... Even with the predictability of this story, I plan to pick this one up soon.<br /><br />Lovely review, Lea! <3<br /><br />-Aneeqah @ <a href="http://mynotsorealife.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">My Not So Real Life</a>Aneeqahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13352395407424623520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877379041758656043.post-66770794763527047862013-06-24T06:14:55.717-07:002013-06-24T06:14:55.717-07:00Great review!
