Thoughts: I am giving this 4 stars because I didn't finish it because I didn't realize it was part of a series. I got about 50% of the way through this and then set it aside. I was incredibly confused about what was going on throughout the story.
The story seems to be following some characters that are part of a Shadowshaper Society or something and some of them are in a band (or they are rappers?) as well. The main character is having relationship troubles with her girlfriend and there is a strange ghost girl in the shop that she runs. That's about what I got from this book in the first half.
The writing isn't bad or anything. There's a lot of slang and the narration on the audiobook was a bit hard to understand with background noise. It wasn't really for me and I was so lost about who was who and what was going on that I decided not to continue it.
If you are a fan of this series you'll probably enjoy this, but if you are just looking for a novella to read and haven't read other books in the series you'll be completely lost and confused.
My Summary (4/5): Overall the first half of this book was well written but hard to follow if you haven't read other books in the series. I didn't enjoy it enough to finish it or to go back and pick up other books in this series. I was just looking for a fun, quick, paranormal novella audiobook to listen to and this didn't really work for me because of how confused I was about the characters and the world. (
