The beginning of this book was very good. Violet seemed like an interesting character. As a fan of the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series I thought or anticipated this book would have some of the same threads. Except....Violet is an idiot. I saw the ending coming from early on in the book. She knows nothing- goes around breaking rules she has been given for her own safety in this new paranormal town and just goes around creating problems.
You think a person who doesn't know about their life, powers, or heritage would be trying to find out useful information. This book made me roll my eyes several times. it ends on a cliff hangar- and then there's an authors note that APOLOGIZES FOR THE CLIFF HANGAR AND SAYS THE NEXT BOOK WILL GET BETTER! so you know this book is bad?! The pacing of this book is very slow, and feels like it takes so long to get somewhere. I likewise dont understand the necessity of lewd the ghost sidekick. She doesnt add anything to the plot and serves instead as Violets inner monologue?
