Review: Love the story

I really like this book, but there was a little bit that sounded off to me, so I'm only giving 4 stars.The story of Mira, I think, instead of jumping from her 10 year old numb and discarded self to what I assume is early 20's based on her enrolling in college and drinking, could have used a bit more explanation earlier on.  I kind of figured it out on my own, but the explanation would have been nice.  Other than that, no faults with the story line I could find.  I love Mira's tough shell, and love even more when she starts to ease up a bit at the end.  Not much, but just a little.The thing I'm actually knocking the star off for, though, is the fact that this book could really have used a trip to an editor, or even a good beta.  There were so many run-on sentences, places where a new sentence should have begun, but rather a comma was put in and it just ran on.  The word *then* was used in place of *than* so many times I lost track, as well as possessives being used in place of plurals and vice versa.  So many other words mistakenly used where it was obvious another word was meant; vile where it was talking about a vial of blood, should of was used instead of should have, and basic mistakes any beta should have caught and pointed out.The story moves quickly, but not too quickly, and these errors slowed it down quite a bit.  I truly did like this story, and I can't wait to see what happens next, now that Mira knows what she is, and as she learns who her father really is.  I wouldn't even be pointing out the errors if there weren't so many of them throughout every page.~Review by Kendra of [...]
