Based on Jamaican folklore this book was action packed and took place all over the Toronto landscape. 

Though I have read and watched a lot about Roman or Greek mythology, I knew nothing about Jamaican mythology. It was very interesting to learn more about it and the book sent me down more than one rabbit hole looking up more about Jamaican folk tales. 

Being set in Toronto this book makes for a great choice for the read the world challenge. It would also make for a great book to travel to Toronto with as there are descriptions all through the book that one could go see. 

One of my hold backs is simple personal and nothing to do with the fabulous writing; fantasy and mythology are not my favourite topics to read about. However, if you do like fantasy and mythology, I would highly recommend this one. I also intend to read her book Frying Plantain. It is probably more up my alley. 

Thank you @netgalley, @randomhouseca, @zalikarb for the opportunity to read and review this exciting new novel and author.
