I usually don't read paranormal books with vampires, werewolves and the
like but I took a chance with this novel because my book, Day After
Disaster, has a strong female lead just like this one. I wanted to see
how Victoria crafted the character and I was not disappointed at all. The lead character is strong and paranormally powerful but also shows
vulnerability and weakness. Very well done.
The story was a little slow at the start but plot needed to be laid out so you could understand the nuances that come into play later on in the story. Once it got rolling it was action after action. Maybe a little too fast with characters constantly going to the hospital and then magically being able to walk out the next day (even the non-paranormal people) but it worked and was essential to keep the story moving.
The supporting characters were very interesting and well described. You understood what made each of them tick and how the main character needed to understand that to effectively run the team. Villains also received the same character care. Victoria painted beautiful interactions here. You immediately knew who she should be very afraid of and who would not be such a big threat.
My only criticism, and this is just my opinion, is the inner character chatter was redundant and confusing to follow but some of the inner chatter was amusing and made the story more entertaining, almost comical.
Hats off to Victoria. I can't believe I read a paranormal book with vampires and werewolves and loved it. You made the magic reality in a detective meets sorceress kind of way.
