At moments this book was great but at times things happened wayyy to fast and other times there were looong conversations and info dumps. Despite this I did enjoy it and my fingers are crossed the later stories have better pacing.
So what did I like? Cassie was a good heroine - she was pretty resourceful and smart but definitely less of a warrior compared to some urban fiction heroines. She is pretty realistic about relationships and I was impressed with her ability to separate lust from other emotions and make some logical decisions. Her magic is really neat and I am looking forward to where it goes. I enjoyed her sidekick Billy Joe, a cowboy ghost.
The vampires in the story walk a fine line between creepy and sexy, and not all are gorgeous and horney all the time. There are a number of famous historical figures amongst them again some creepy, some sexy. The magicians so far seem like pricks - hopefully Cassie will meet some normal ones.
