"I like a lot of books, but this series really stood out for me. The writing is exceptional and the story really grabs your attention and holds it. You find yourself attached to the characters and after I finished the first book I immediately looked to see where I could find the other two. Karou, the main character is, but I can’t tell you why because that will spoil the book."
