The Emperor's Code
4 of 5 stars
This is a good little series. I like how each author has had their own voice, while sticking with the overall story. I thought there was a bit more character development in this installment. I enjoy listening to this series to and from w...
White Cat
4 of 5 stars
I liked this book, it was fast paced and hard to put down. When I started reading, I realized I was already 1/2 way through. Black provided a dark tone to a different "under world." The fae are not involved with this story, but ...

White Cat by Holly Black

I liked this book, it was fast paced and hard to put down. When I started reading, I realized I was already 1/2 way through. Black provided a dark tone to a different "under world." The fae are not involved with this story, but there still lots of magic! Set in a parallel universe (Fringe shout out! ), Cassel's family are "curse workers." Curse working is illegal, and curse workers are considered scoundrels and con artists. While Cassel is the only non-worker in the family, he is well accustomed to working a good con. He is not completely innocent; in fact, he murdered his friend Lila three years ago. Or did he? Black created a great story of suspense, backstabbing family members, mobsters, and magic. I will be waiting for the next installment of this series.
