One of the great things about doing book reviews and being a writer- I can get green with envy over the brilliance of others... this is one of those books. Ciar has created amazing characters, an amazing setting, and a plot that makes you want to keep reading- what more could you want? Nothing!Why did I love this book? Lillian! She is such a great character. There is a lot of depth and you can see her grow and change in the story! She's sort of mousy in the beginning- not in the way you think, but because of the barriers that she's created for herself against the cruelties of the world that have been slapped against her young blossoming heart! By the end of the book, you know that this girl could rip someone's throat out if she needed to. A big change from the girl that hid her night rides on a motorbike... but she goes through some big changes! But do not mistake what I've said as a way to make her a less character in the beginning of the book- oh hell no! The girl dresses in men's clothing so she can go out for her night rides, stands in front of a window naked as the day she was born and watches the Leaping Man (oh, yum, by the way!).Okay, I've said too much about her and perhaps too much of the beginning? I never know what to say and what not to say! I want you all to read the book! Bask in the awesomeness that is this book and remember that I'm the one that pointed you in that direction!If you love Sherlock Holmes, even if it is only because of the smexy Robert Downey Jr., then you'll want to read this book. I completely imagine George as a RDJ kinda handsome rouge. I'm sure his brother would be just as delicious- but there is something about the character qualities that cause George to be that bad boy type that draws women to him in the flocks and I want to be there too!Yes, I could totally imagine him as George and maybe we could cast Phillip as Johnny Depp... I might just die and go to that special place reserved for woman that drool over these men!Although looking at in this light, perhaps Johnny would make the better bad boy and Robert would be the good one? Oh, no! I've done it... I picked two smexy bad boys as brothers! This is all wrong! But still sooo good! LOL.Anyways, back to my point! This book has characters and stuff in it for everyone. We have the strong eccentric female; the soft mild-mannered best friend; the smexy brothers (one the bad boy and one the favorite);  mysticism; death threats; rowdy street urchins & their trusty mutt; love; murder; mayhem; paranormal; and enough real life to slap reality in the face.I am truly in love with this book and I cannot wait until Ciar writes the next one! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE write it soon and let me proof read it! I will be totally honest and kick some serious proofreading butt!I highly recommend this book for everyone! You love romance (check!), action (check), historial (check), paranormal (check), strong females (check!), strong males (check!), insanity brought about by "medicines" (yep, that is there too!)... it's just a great book for the start of what I know will be an AMAZING series!*I received this book in exchange for an honest review*
