Review A selection of comments left by Goodreads reviewers: "The trilogy is a perfect read for teens. It totally captures the struggles of a boy who is misunderstood by his siblings and parents. As you read it time just flies by and you are through the books before you realize it." "I'm a sucker for hidden worlds of magic, and I enjoyed the background to this story... it's a nice little world builder, and I'm sure it goes nicely into a main series." "This book is fun, fast-paced with action, plenty of world-building and has really loveable and creative characters. It sets up the plot well for the next two books in the trilogy." "This is an amazing start to a new series. You get sucked into the story immediately and can't stop reading. It's a quick, easy and thrilling read. The characters are beautifully written and I also love the family dynamic. I sometimes find that novellas are not long enough and boring, but not with this one. If you like the Shadowhunter Chronicles by Cassandra Clare, you have to read this novella! I can't wait to read the next one in this series!" "Focusing on a 14 year old's story, this is a fast-paced novella with a fast-paced story and interesting locales. I really liked the Under market and the fact that this is the start of a series. Author Harlow does a nice job setting the stage and creating an enjoyable world and demon-battling family." "I really enjoyed reading this novella. It was the perfect length to read on my lunch break. It moves along at a nice pace, has characters that you fall in love with and want to know more about and a story that will grab you and keep you reading till the end. This is a must read." "Fun and interesting. I want an Under market too! The protagonist is young so if you're not a YA fan - then this might not be for you. But the premise is solid and the writing is lovely. I enjoyed this little novella a lot - more soon please!" A  selection of comments left by Amazon reviewers: "Author Krysten Harlow conjures up a fun little urban fantasy novella that's well-paced and easy to follow. The idea of an Under Market really excites the imagination. It reminded me of something from Hellboy, while the Damianos wouldn't have been out of place in something like Mortal Instruments. One of my favorite parts is when they wander through the deserted market after hours; there's an eerie sense of lingering magic, like an afterglow." "This is off to a fantastic start! It's well written and draws you in immediately so much so that you cannot put it down. It's a fun and thrilling ya urban fantasy novella with fantastic characters set in an intriguing world with intriguing abilities and a great family dynamic and I look forward to reading more." "Really enjoyed this read by a new-to-me author!" "A fast paced and creative urban fantasy filled with thrills and action on every page. The characters were great and the storytelling was amazing considering the short length of the book. Definitely looking forward to seeing
