This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from the PR Agency in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.This book was my little haven the last few days.
Rayvin oh beautiful Rayvin. I loved her. I felt sorry for her, being run out of her own town when she was so young and had no one else to go to. I found her witchcraft intriguing. It's different from most other witchcraft I have read about.
What did I think of Grant Michaels? Well to be honest I didn't like him very much. He believed his lying toe rag of a friend for years, he was extremely fickle. One minute he loved Rayvin the next he hated her. It was difficult to keep up.
de Sade was a very interesting character. You wanted to hate him for everything he's done but a little part of you also felt sorry for him. He'd been alone for so many years that you just wanted him to be happy.
I really enjoyed this book. It was a perfect mix of fantasy, paranormal and romance. I can't wait to read the others in the series and will be making space in my shelf for Tori's other books.

What a great book!! I started reading it and I just couldn't stop. I was so drawn in the story that I lost track of time and ended up reading the book in one day even though I didn't plan on reading the full book on the one day. I can't wait to read the next book in this series.
If you are into paranormal romance then I suggest you read this book.

This was much different than what I expected at first. I expected something more romantic - with perhaps a HFN type of ending that fell apart in book two or something. That definitely didn't happen. In fact, there wasn't much happy in the ending at all. That being said, it definitely isn't a romance. It's all about a very very evil vampire trying to find his bride, a bride that doesn't want to be his.
It is a pretty good urban fantasy though. I really enjoyed the very traditional take on vampires and the Wiccan aspect of witchcraft. Out main character, Rayvin, is a blast. I loved her attitude and how much she cared about others, even when they didn't see to care about her. I didn't like what happened to some of the side characters and I really hope Ridgewood has a way to change what their path appears to be.
There is a love interest, Grant, but things don't seem to come together for them until later in the book. And as you know from the first paragraph of my review, it doesn't end well - at least not yet. I'll be picking up book two eventually. I sort of want to know how everything comes out next, the author definitely got me a little hooked.

Rayvin returns to her hometown ten years after being driven away only to discover that a vampire is on the loose. As a witch she has no choice but to try to stop it. Of course the first person she meets when she comes back to town is her high school crush, Grant, who thinks she tried to murder his best friend. I liked Ravyn and Grant. There is romance and magic and vampires. This is the first of a trilogy and nothing is resolved. It takes a dark turn at the end and I'm not sure I can handle it. I know I will check out the next book anyway.
