I'm giving this 2 stars because some of the sex scenes were pretty hot. Otherwise, I would probably have to give 1 star. 
 My biggest problem with this book is that it is book 1 of a series and it should absolutely be able to standalone without any issues. Unfortunately, that was not the case. For a good portion of the book I was thoroughly confused and didn't know what the hell they were talking about. There were too many unexplained references and too much assumption on the part of the author that a new reader would understand this world and life. 
 It was noted that this happens within the same universe as The Fae Chronicles, however it was not said that it is almost necessary to read those books first. Since I've not read that series, I can only assume many of the past references came from there. Also, I would hope that the worlds and all of the witches, Fae, demons, vamps, etc and their behavior and lifestyle would be explained there because it certainly wasn't here. 
 It was really disappointing to go through most of the book uncertain about the core things. 
 My next problem was that I found a lot of the scenes and dialogue, especially toward the end to be cheesy. It was also telling rather than showing. 
 I won't be reading future books in this series and I'm not sure yet if I want to read The Fae Chronicles series. I'm not feeling really optimistic about it so I'll put it on the back burner for now.
