I really enjoyed the uniqueness of this paranormal book.

The main character, Meg, has the ability to see prophesies when her skin is cut. This is something that I don't recall ever reading about (other than witches making blood sacrifices). She escapes her prison and ends up becoming a liaison between humans and 'The Others' (supernatural creatures).

The story has a few different perspectives, but mainly takes place behind the eyes of Meg and Simon, a wolf shifter who runs one of the local businesses. While this may sound like the average boring setup in a novel like this, the romance aspect was barely in this at all! Instead, the book was very plot and character-focused, giving the readers a chance to really become immersed in the world and care about what's happening to it.

This book was missing a lot of the stereotypical scenes in novels like this, and I also enjoyed the logical elements regarding the Others' confusion regarding some human qualities like healing and cleanliness.

I'm really excited to see where this story goes next!
