For me, this was a horrible book. It dealt with vampires, werewolves, orcs, and something called an Eternal. These Eternals as far as I could tell our creatures that can live forever in terms of age and health, but can be killed through physical violence. They also have a sort of magic, which comes in the form of some kind of lightning or energy.
In the beginning I was not sure where the book was going. I felt like the author did not even understand what he was writing about until almost halfway through the book. There was quite a bit about storyline which I think the author assumed the reader was already privy to, such as the state of things between the various races. The vampires seem to employ the orcs as their muscle, but the werewolves I believe were friendly to the Eternals? It is all very confusing.
In addition to a lack of direction the story itself, the author has a female main character, it does not seem to understand how females think and act. It seemed to me every time the author spoke through this character, they were trying to mold the character into us something that was the ideal action film babe. Here we are to expect that this intelligent, resourceful, including tactician in combat can spend half of a chapter deciding which dress to wear. Yes, for some reason in the middle of the book, there is one chapter in which there is a very immature but emotional internal monologue as the character gets ready for and goes on a date. This event really came out of nowhere in my opinion. This female main character continuously morphed and personality between many things: sex object, damsel in distress, one man army, stereo typical blonde...
The quantity of grammatical mistakes in this book was at a completely unacceptable level.
