I read the summary for the story first and then Sarah’s review above and I’m glad I did because I had some forewarning about the start of the work. I’m all for starting a story immediately but holy crap! SA has taken that literally! I mean literally, in the first sentence of the first chapter, full-force action. I was very thrown, even with the warning. I like the bit of backstory in the third chapter but if it were me, I would have moved that chapter to number one because I think there is enough of a hook in there, and just enough build-up, to keep the reader going. SA also has a great flow with her writing that seems to come naturally so wanting to continue onto the next chapter doesn’t seem to be an issue, at least for me.
Once you’re settled into the action, action, action, the story really takes off and if you’re at all confused as to what’s going on, don’t worry. Naomi is as well. She has no idea which way is up at this point. I like that we’re kept strictly within her point of view. It adds that much more "OMG, what’s going to happen???" to the story. I can never get enough of that. Things happen very quickly and in rapid succession so be prepared to keep up although if you start reading, I’m sure you won’t stop so that won’t be a problem.
Of course, me and my five post rule, I left off at a rather intriguing part. It seems this Agatha woman knows more than what she appears to know and I’m jonsing to find out what her role in all of this is, not to mention how Naomi’s grandfather came into possession of a unicorn horn that’s activated by blood. That also leads into just what kind of person that guy was and how no one else in the family knew about this. So many questions that I want answered. I guess I’m just going to have to keep reading to find out!
And so should you. If you’re looking for a light, fast-paced, action-filled, snarky MC-ed web serial, this one’s right up your alley and tapping on your shoulder.
