Ceres is an amazing character! From the very beginning I could really relate to how she was feeling and reacting to the situations around her. One of the most well written heroines I've read. And the fact that she's a bit of a bookworm gave her a place in my reading heart very easily. She's a little socially awkward, in a very endearing way and really wants to know what happened to her to make her a Reaper. But she may be better off not knowing - her history is a huge mystery throughout the book that is revealed in little snippets from the oddest and least expected places. It was wonderful.

The reason this book didn't get 5 stars, is there was a bit of a nasty love triangle thing going for awhile. While the "other guy" knew he really wasn't going to go anywhere serious with Ceres, he stayed in the picture as a possible romance a little too long for my taste. I like knowing what hero to root for. The ending was a bit rushed as well. So much happened in about 10 pages I felt like the author ran out of time or space and had to just cram it all in as fast as she could. Up until that point it was a very well paced book. Oh, and we can't forget about Ceres' hellhound - he's a bit of a show stealer himself in an amazing cute but deadly sort of way.
