Summary
"The body you are wearing used to be mine." So begins the letter Myfanwy Thomas is holding when she awakes in a London park surrounded by bodies all wearing latex gloves. With no recollection of who she is, Myfanwy must follow the instructions her former self left behind to discover her identity and track down the agents who want to destroy her. She soon learns that she is a Rook, a high-ranking member of a secret organization called the Checquy that battles the many supernatural forces at work in Britain.
She also discovers that she possesses a rare and deadly supernatural ability of her own. Filled with characters both fascinating and fantastical, The Rook is a richly inventive, suspenseful fantasy. An astonishing debut from a brilliant new voice.

Glad it's Finished
Some remarkably imaginative chapters but they took me into situations I didn't like. Not as bad as swimming in phlegm or eating someone else's but going that way and can be blamed for this analogy.

loved most of the story, but the end felt like it almost came out of nowhere.

Good fun.
An enjoyable romp. I liked the premise and the device of letters to frame the plot. Only jarring item was the Americanisms in a book narrated by a Briton and set in Britain. What British person ever "sipped a beverage"?! Other than that it was light and well paced.

Great plot, painful dialogue
Really inventive story, well narrated. but the dialogue is pretty trite, especially when it's aiming to be funny.

Great fun listening
A secret British organisation for people with super powers and a girl trying to figure out who wiped her memory while keeping the office running smoothly. A fun story with more than a touch of British humour.

Pleasant surprise
Really enjoyed the book,narration was good and the story pushed along at a rapid pace. The main character was funny and likable, although I felt she adjusted to her new situation too rapidly and without question. will definitely get the sequel with my next credit!
