I'm just really conflicted about how I feel about it. The writing and dialogue was really clunky, especially at the start in the character introductions and extra especially in the epilogue which was, I think, a fairly unnecessary contribution to the story. But also, the clunkiness could just as easily be an issue in translation as it could be a writer's flaw. But conceptually I really liked where it was going. It follows the YA Urban Fantasy formula to the letter, but the premise was honestly3.5 stars. The night that Heaven lost her heart was cold and moonless. But the blade that sliced it out was warm with her dark blood. Forlorn, bewildered and throbbing fearfully, the heart was mirrored in the curved, silvery knife.

The novel eases you in gently and so subtly, that by the time the plot begins to get a little stranger, and darker things begin to unfold, you are already accustomed to the oddity of it all,
Oh gosh, where to start?David Pettyfer works at The Owl And Pussycat bookshop in central London. He prefers to walk on the rooftops to get to his destinations, as he likes being alone and away from all the hustle and bustle of the busy streets of London.One night, while on his way to deliver a very rare and valuable book to a customer, he stumbles upon a girl up on the rooftops. She looks as though she is in severe pain, and David goes over to check on her.The girl in question says that her name
