I'm torn about this book and I would give it a 2.5. On one hand I liked the world that was built, on the other I felt like this book spent to much time setting up a story instead of telling one. Pandora is a nephilim, half angel half human. In this universe nephilim carry a demon inside of them. I really wish that had been explained. The angels that fathered them fell from heaven and became demons, but they fell after they had children. So why the demon sidekicks in the nephilim? It might have been written but I don't remember seeing it being said what kind of demon Luc carried. The book also spent way to much time building up to a mystery for the characters to actively pursue, finally we were given the club's actual function, but the twist ending fizzled for me. And we were left with multiple cliffhangers.I did like Pandora. She is a heroine trying to redeem herself, she's knows she's flawed and isn't to hard on herself about it. Luc could be someone who cares for her, although he is as much a mystery as Billy and the Gray Man. Which annoyed me, but could make for an interesting love triangle or square. I'm not sure if I will continue with this series. I liked that the nephilim created "families" to survive and that they created a Carnival. It means they will always be able to meet new characters and they are mobile so there is no limit to the locations each book can venture to. Even though it was not the kind of book I couldn't put down, and I was annoyed by the lack of information given to the reader, there is something there. I am curios to see how Pandora's story turns out.
