***5 Stars***
This was a fun, quick read that hooked me from the start and is filled with a whole plethora of characters I NEED to know more about and am thrilled that the remaining three books in this series are coming in quick succession (one each week) for myself and anyone else who decides to jump on this paranormal urban fantasy series!
I loved Tegan. Her life has been a good one overall, but there have been some rough patches, but she’s made it through and is working on living and then she’s thrust into a world that she is entirely unprepared for. I really liked how she rolled with things, but wasn’t a total pushover no matter who was coming at her. She went with her gut and each time has come out stronger for it.
This really was a fun read for me. The world that Tegan finds herself thrust into is an interesting one, and I thought the world building was done well ~ it’s not so intricate that it’s overwhelming ~ and it was easy to believe in it and want more. There was just the right amount of drama and suspense to keep me turning the pages to find out what would happen next with Tegan and all of the people that we’ve met thus far and speaking of.
You all know I’m all about the well written secondary/supporting characters in a book and have on many occasions found myself just as interested in them as the main characters, and this baby is chock full of them. OMG, so many people I NEED to have more of, but the two that truly interest me are Flo and Rita. Don’t get me wrong Ethan and Theodore have my interest, but Flo and Rita...yeah, there’s some goodness right there and I know more will come.
So, bring on the rest of the series!

Tegan encounters all kinds of crazies working the night shift at a 24-hour grocery store. None of them, however, have anything on the handsome stranger who comes in one night and helps her fend off an armed robber. He looks the thief directly in the eye and without confrontation convinces him to turn around and walk out the door.
Tegan has never seen anything like it, nor does she understand why he then lays those mesmerising eyes on her and tells her to forget they ever met. She shrugs it off as just another weird night shift encounter, until the following evening when her best friend produces free passes to a new club in the city. Tegan agrees to go and is pleasantly surprised by the tasteful, classy décor and oddly beautiful, intensely ethereal clientele. To her surprise, her mysterious stranger is sitting smack dab in the VIP section. What are the chances?!
Tegan is struck by the coincidence of bumping into him again so soon, while he is furious that she remembers him when he insisted she forget their meeting. Tegan has no idea that she’s taken a misstep into a whole new world inhabited by vampires, slayers, dhampirs, witches and warlocks. All of whom display a wholly disconcerting interest in what makes her unique from the rest of the clueless humans who populate the city. On top of this, her handsome stranger keeps turning up at her work and seems intent on getting to know her a whole lot better.
