Dee's Thougts:

Morgan Hawkes is half Wicca and the other half Voodoo roots. Suffering from the guilt she feels for her partners death, Morgan decides to forego homicide and takes a role as paranormal investigator or ghost buster. Until a rash of murders begins near the local university.

Cole St. John is an Inheritor vampire and a member of Special Forces Agency. Due to Morgan’s unique bloodline Cole feels she is the perfect partner to hunt down the killers and possibly his perfect woman. At first Morgan refuses, then her cousin, Xia, is almost the next victim and Morgan decides to join the hunt.

For me this novel was bogged down with to many different species of demons, and types of witches. Due to the overload I never got to really know and enjoy who the characters were and what they were capable of. Also, some of the content rambled a bit. I found myself tempted to skim ahead on more than one occasion. As far as the love scenes go they came up short for me. I would have liked to see more detail in the romance aspect of the novel.

All in all, the world the author is building has great potential, but came up a bit short in this novel.
