Now it&#8217;s fallen to Sarah, living in misery with her ill father, to reclaim the Trevelyan pride and riches, through the hands of the mysterious and sinister Azrael&#8211;for the price of her soul.<\/p>\n<p>I wasn&#8217;t sure I would like this dark YA tale, but I really, really did. It walks a razor edge between telling the reader just enough and leaving\u00a0 things to the imagination. It offers very few answers, but gives you all the information you need to take the story from the events. And despite being pretty dark (in theme, without getting gritty or brutal) the end spirit is a positive, hopeful one. Definitely recommended for readers looking for something outside of vampires, ghosts and angels.<\/p>\n<p>Contains: pseudo-religious themes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>**Vault Reviews were posted previously on the main MonsterLibrarian website and are transferred here in an effort to preserve our history.
