Week 46 Review: Darker Days

From Goodreads:
Jessie Darker goes to high school during the day, but at night she helps with the family investigation business. Cheating husbands and stolen inheritances? They're your girls—but their speciality is a bit darker. Zombie in your garage? Pesky Poltergeist living in your pool? They'll have the problem solved in a magical minute. For a nominal fee, of course...

When gorgeous new client, Lukas Scott, saunters into the office requesting their help to find a stolen box, it sounds like a simple case—until the truth comes out. The box is full of Sin.

Seven deadly ones, in fact.

They've got five days to recapture the Sins before they're recalled by the box, taking seven hijacked human bodies with them. Easy peasy—except for one thing...

There's a spell that will allow the Sins to remain free, causing chaos forever. When the key ingredient threatens the life of someone she knows, Jessie must make the ultimate choice between love and family—or lose everything. 

My Review:
First off, the premise of this book, girl trying to get the 7 sins back in a box while still going to school, is just awesome! I can't wait to see where it's going to go from here, because this is a pretty high opener!

Second, I really enjoyed Jessie, she was so entertaining, and yeah, while it's been a few years since I watched Buffy, this definitely reminded me of the show, and the character, a girl dealing with the paranormal while going to school. So enjoyable! And then add in that the parents were pretty active participants, it was great!

Reading the synopsis, I read it a bit quickly, because I wanted to know what it said. So I overlooked a few words, so I was a bit confused as to why it would be a bad thing for the sins to be summoned back to the box. Then I reread it, and the part about the bodies they were possessing coming with them, yeah.

Really enjoyed the ending, it was came together so well, and so quickly, it was like, being frustrated that the puzzle wouldn't work, and then suddenly, in 5 minutes, the whole thing's done. It was pretty great, really enjoyable!

Darker Days was very entertaining, and I really enjoyed it! I can't wait to read A Darker Past for the tour next week!
