** spoiler alert ** 
 I liked Cassie and her supporting cast, or really didn't like them depending on how Chance wanted us to see them. I held out hope that she would make up with Tomas, but it turned out her instincts were right and he had truly betrayed them. I'm interested to see where the series goes as Cassie comes into her powers and how her relationship with the vampires and the mages changes as she becomes more powerful than them. I would like to see something between Cassie and Mircea, I'm hoping he doens't turn out to be a bad guy in the future books.
