It was a good story about a family with issues. But the  story was difficult to follow at times. The story would take place in the present in one chapter, the next would be 10 years in the past then move again to the present. Not a fan of that format.

It was a good story but did have a few disturbing parts that had to be to make the story so good.

Dysfunctional families seem to abound. This one touched many feelings similar in mine.

I saw this as a story about love, fotgiveness and acceptance no matter what the issue may be

I liked the family-centric natured of the story. It was cool how the sisters stuck together even when they disagreed. I enjoyed the plot and the actions sequences and the history of the family and the different ways magic manifested in each user. The story began in an unexpected place; I thought it would start after Faith passed away, which threw me off a bit. Also, a few of the scenes didn't flow into each other, but the story was good.
I was provided this book through Booktasters. The opinions expressed are my own.

I really enjoyed reading this story. An interesting story showing how family can stick together, most of the family, through the trials of a negative entity invading their home.

The issues are well explored and the characters filly fleshed out.  The story explores family relationships at their most painful.

A family trying to survive a 'happening' which turn groups of people on each other.
It's was a a page turner for me.

It was a good story but it got complicated in the constant worrying about things from the past and what family members might think. Worth reading though.

Liked the way the relationships were illustrated and the struggle that the whole family went through and how they resolved it.  Maybe too much on the specific game which in my opinion could have been avoided.

I enjoyed the intertwining of good friends and the characters in this story.  I especially liked the way the author stressed the importance of family

I enjoyed how this family dealt with issues during the war times.  The family stuck together and the author captures the thoughts of children during a world crisis.

Some people are destined to be mothers or fathers. Some people aren't. Good story about childhood friends, who get separated and reunited. Story about mothers, some good, some not.

A story about a family, and relationships first... And a neurological condition second.  Moves well with the story flowing at a good pace.

This is the story of a very dysfunctional family.  Brad is a lawyer and Janet (his wife) are parents of three children.  Joseph who is in the Army deployed to Iraq,  Ruth who is in high school and they youngest broth Aubrey.  The parents are comfortably wealthy and more concerned about social status so have very little to do with the children.  But when Joseph shows up one day life changes for all of them.  Joseph refused an order and returned AWOL to his home.  He is arrested and the news media intrudes on their lives.  School becomes unbearable.  Life is not the same for any of them after that.  Finding out why Joseph did what he did will give the reader a lot to think about .

Enjoyed it - quick, easy read. This story deals with a lot of issues that touch home for everyone, things just about everyone can relate to. Different aspects will touch different people but they involve universal themes. Some of the story lines were frustrating but very real, maybe all too real perhaps!
