This was filled with lots of action and I enjoyed reading it.  The story flowed quickly and it was easy to get caught up in the supernatural world the author envisions.  The bond between the sisters is fabulous, and I loved the sense of danger and conflict that is woven throughout the whole book.  The world-building here is off to a fabulous start, and I am eager to read the next installment.  That said, the major cliff-hanger ending was a real blow.  I don't mind when there is a set-up for the next adventure but I heartily dislike serialized books - most especially when there is a long wait before the next book is released.  In general, my practice is to wait until a series is complete so I can better submerge my mind into the story. I wish I had waited longer before reading Dark Waters.  I feel that this book ended too soon.  The ending left me feeling somewhat depressed and out of sorts - I much prefer leaving a book and feeling at least content, if not jubilant.
