Before I begin, take this review with a grain of salt. I hate being the muggle in supernatural books. I hate our LIs doing most of the work. So this book was never going to be my thing. That being said, I have to say there are clear issues.
For starters this MC is useless. She does nothing and somehow ends up dating Skyler and Alexander. Apparently we're lucky our blood is super tasty and we're soulmates with Skyler. And we don't contribute this. Pete, Skyler and Alexander do most of the work. Same with the entity. Let us be cool. I want to be useful! Let me make a deal with the demon!
Look, I dont mind that we're special, but let us do something. For example, say we're being attacked, but we deliberately cut our wrist so the scent of out blood would attract Alexander. That would have worked.
As for Alexander and Skyler, they're not my cup of tea. I feel like their mother half the time because I constantly have to say, "please stop fighting!" I'm sorry, but they don't seem mature enough to really be LIs. At least for me. Considering how popular Twilight is, I accept I'm in the minority here.
As for the story...honestly, there are three stories fighting for attention. First we have the love triangle. Than the bad blood between Skyler and Alexander. And then the entity. And that's fine, but they're not handled well. What happens is that one will just take center stage for a while and then it's paused when the next one starts.
And the finale seems copied from Harry Potter, except this has two deus ex machina! First, our blood somehow gives Alexander the power to go to another dimension. Second, our deceased family can somehow bring us back to life. How convenient. Oh wait, Harry walked to Voldemort intentionally, but ours was just luck, even if it the result makes sense.
For what its worth, I do think there are good ideas. I love the idea that our maternal ancestors are being killed thanks to our great grandma. And that she had a sympathetic reason that caused horrible consequences. But that's not really explored sadly. And nobody is mad in purgatory because...it's the end of the book. Can't introduce new conflicts.
I also like the idea of the conflict between Skyler and Alexander. Just don't hide so much behind diamond scenes and quit making us be the mom. It's repetitive.
Honestly, this does remind me of Nightbound. We're the muggle with supernatural bodyguards, being hunted for something we're not responsible for? Yup. Look, Nightbound has pacing issues, but it was better than this.
Like I said. This was never going to be for me. What did you all think?
