This was a book that will work well in and benefit from, being part of a series/trilogy. As an introduction to this fictional world and cast of characters, I'm rounding up from 3.5 to 4-stars, and here's why.
Plot: Two witches, a half-demon, and an ancient witch-hating/witch-hunting group of vampires... The story was creative and fast-paced. Believe-ability of witches & vampires aside, there were a couple of stretches that I can accept only because I guess if you're dealing with immortals- money isn't usually a problem, which means more things (like far away/last-minute travel) are possible. There were definitely some twists and turns I didn't see coming, which I liked. But some of the resolutions were a bit cliché and/or contradictory to what had already been done in a similar situation. All in all, the storyline worked and I was entertained.
Characters: The three main characters (Gilda, Jax, and Noelle) were sufficiently fleshed-out. Again, this is where I'd like to see their growth/arcs over the next few books.
The Writing: 3rd person POV, alternating between the three MC's POVs. The writing flows well and is easy to read.
In Case You Wanted to Know: There are quite a bit of (well-described) action sequences that can get a bit explicit & violent. Also, there is a sub-plot lesbian romance, and it is written like any good budding romance should be written... awkward and cute and I guess you call it a "slow burn" at first? I also liked that they created their own spells for this book and INCLUDED a FREAKING GLOSSARY in the back!
Overall: I liked it. I was interested enough in this new/alternate version of our world that I'd like to see what's next.
