Not my favorite heroine of urban fantasy. I felt like I was missing a whole lot of backstory to get a good feel on the story. I'm sure we'll get more of her past explained as the series progresses, but I was floundering a little in this book. Mircea is a hottie, what with his dimples and all and I hope he is endgame, but I still need more insight into his personality. Character building was a little lacking, but I will give Karen Chance the opportunity to redeem herself in the next book.
