I absolutely loved this book.
Okay, I should preface what is to come with the disclaimer that I read this as a BETA before it was submitted for publication and loved it then, so I took little risk in reading the final version. I already knew it was a kick-ass read. My opinion has not changed.

Okay where to begin with this review. Man oh man I would like to give a HUGE THANK YOU to J Taylor Publishing for allowing me to read this ARC copy of Crux. I have to say that this is a story that grips you right from the start. I will try and do this review without giving any spoilers. It is going to be very hard because I LOVED every aspect of this book and I need more from Julie.

Wow! What a wonderful, unexpected find! I think I mentioned that my husband recommended a book titled Crux to me a while back. Well, I found two titles of Crux and both were free. So I picked them both up not knowing which one he was alluding to. That cleared up, I read the other one, by Moira Rogers, first. Yep, it was grand. But then I didn't feel it fair not to read this one by Julie Reece, just to make sure it got a chance. IT WAS TERRIFIC!!!!!

Birdie had a hard life which left her homeless until one day a former teacher of hers starts giving away money in the street. After that her life gets really weird as it turns out she is a Wielder destined along with her Guardian to break an anciet Viling curse between a father and son. Action and interesting characters lead to a powerful read@
