3 1/2 stars. Solid Urban Fantasy, hitting all the points: world building, paranormal creatures, warring factions, super-human abilities, and action & danger sequences. The usual sidekicks: hot alpha male, hot villain/could-be good guy, flighty new bff after years of never having a female friend (always annoying yet flirty, semi-dim), a surprising villain (usually female)that was thought to be on your team. 
 I'm unsure why, perhaps my mood, but the story didn't grip me and keep me interested. Maybe it was because the book hit all the points, making it cookie-cutter, insert character traits here, and predicable without bringing anything new to the genre. I love being surprised while I read, and that was missing for me. 
 I was able to put the book down, over and over, and it didn't matter if I finished the story or not. I didn't connect with the characters. Some essential spark was missing for me. I enjoy UF because romance is not front and center but slightly hiding in the background. While there were several characters that could become Sabina's future love interest, I felt no emotion, no chemistry at all. 
 I don't want this to be perceived as a negative review. My reading tastes are dictated by my mood. The Sabina Kane series hits all the points in the Urban Fantasy genre, the writing was solid, and the characters were authentic. The book just wasn't for me. 
 Will I continue on with the series: maybe- when I get a craving for more UF. 
 Would I read more from this author: I will read a few more books by Jaye Wells before I determine if the writing style is for me. so, yes. 
 I would recommend this series to readers of Urban Fantasy: Vamps and Mages and Demons, oh my! 
 By far my favorite part of the entire book, anything dealing with Sabina's pet demon- Mr. Giggles pulled my lips into a smile a few times, and even made me laugh out loud.
