Bitter Awakenings
Southern charm meets devilish intent.
Being nearly immortal and stuck in the body of a young girl alongside an injured demon has been a long road for Truddie Mae. As a Keeper, blessed by the fates to protect the veil using supernatural magic, she has grown weary from lack of excitement. Nestled within the swampy wilderness of her Florida home, her existence will soon be threatened.
The veil, a magical barrier between our world and the astral planes, is in distress urging for her help against a sinister new enemy that has breached this reality. Driven by a ravenous appetite for energy, it will stop at nothing until everything is consumed. Now, forced to work alongside a tri-blooded enigma, a nature mage, and a snobby ice enchantress, she must race to rescue others in its path and stop this wicked threat from ultimately unraveling the entire universe.
Against the odds, the countdown begins. Can they stop this ticking monstrosity of devouring darkness or will time run out for them all?

A decent read, a decent first offering from a starting author. The plot does seem to move around, as do the locations, but I found it kept the pace up and sort of sets the groundwork for more installments of the series, especially how this one ended. I enjoyed the characters, their back and forth banter, and the supernatural feel of the story. Overall, a good afternoon or lazy weekend read and will be looking for future books of the series.
