Daughter of two powerful sorcerers, powerless Cassie Scot feels like she's a disappointment to her family. When a vampire starts killing other magical practitioners, Cassie enlists the help of local, powerful sorcerer and cousin of one of the victims, Evan Blackwood to solve the case. As she investigates, however, her friend, Angie becomes the next target. When she and Evan take on the friend’s vampiric boyfriend on their own, the stakes heat up and now the mysterious vampire is out to get Cassie. To make matters worse, her mom is pregnant again and her parents think that to create any ideal magical protection for the other family members they have to disown Cassie. Fortunately, her cousin, Jason, and her brother, Nicholas aren’t about to leave her in the dark. Without a magical protector, however, Cassie’s life is more in danger than ever. Can Cassie solve the crimes without becoming vampire chow? Will she ever be able to repair her relationship with her family after her parents’ betrayal?
Narrator, Melissa Reizian Frank is a perfect fit for this
well-paced, engaging plot. The plot itself is entertaining, well-developed, and
lends itself well to being an audiobook. Frank’s voices for the characters are
unique, easily distinguished, and she does a great job of bringing to life
their entertaining,
well-developed personalities. Her
transitions are smooth and easily move between action and character dialogue. The
recording itself is crisp and free of any technical flaws.
Readers will probably find most memorable the main character’s
family, most because they will want to strangle her parents for their stupidity.
Plus, the family dynamic for most of the book is engaging, light-hearted, and
easily draws the reader into Cassie’s world and makes the reader want to stay
in their car and listen to this book. The love triangle between Cassie, Braden,
and Evan is masterfully done, but the reader will probably be left feeling unsatisfied
with the ending. Fortunately, there is a sequel which will leave plenty of
chance for this triangle to run its course. Readers who like paranormal mystery
with a little bit of romance will enjoy listening to this book.
