I found it slow going in the beginning. There's a lot of "British-isms" and police jargon, and I had a hard time at first visualizing the scenes. But then it picks up nicely, lots of tense moments while you wonder how they're going to get out of their situation. Interesting premise (not new, but interesting) of being "remembered". I liked all the characters as well. I'll definitely look up the next two in this series.

This was slow going for me in the beginning. I think it was mostly just me because I had a lot going on. There was plenty of action but it was being told from several perspectives and it took me awhile to grasp the characters and their relationships amidst all that was happening. There is also the British jargon and that took some getting used to. However once it got rolling for me, I really enjoyed it! Lots of crazy, supernatural fun! We come to know some background on the characters and they become a team that I want to read more of. It is left wide open for all sorts of adventures and story lines without boundaries. I look forward to what future book(s) may bring.
