Tilly is one of thirteen incredible creations known as the galvanized, stitched together beings immortal and unfathomably strong. For a century, each House has fought for control over the galvanized. Now the Houses are also tangled in a deadly struggle for dominion over death and Tilly and her kind hold the key to unlocking eternity. The secrets that Tilly must fight to protect are hidden within the very seams of her being. And to get the secrets, her enemies are willing to tear her apart piece by piece.

I was very happy to see Devon Monk come out with a new fantasy series as she finished Allie Beckstrom. However, as a first book in a new series, this wasn't much to talk about. There is a lot of new world information being pushed at the reader and it is confusing at first to sync with the new lingo. I also felt that the romance was forced. There was no slow build up like with Allie, instead the main character is head over heels immediately. Boring, unrealistic. Give me more to go on with these characters, don't just shove them together and think it makes an interesting love story. Dont get me wrong though, the idea behind the characters is great. Galvanized beings, Monk's version of zombies, stitched together from bits of people yet holding onto their brain's personality and actual being. I love it! No rote repetition of mindless flesh eating beings, awesome, but give me more character developtment. I think I was also spoiled with the fast pacing of Allie's series which this one also lacks. Here's to hoping the next one is more up to speed.
