3.5 stars! Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect from this book. All I knew was that some of my favorite GR friends read and enjoyed it, so when it became available at the library I figured I'd give it a try! I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by this story as a whole, and especially by the MC, Elena. What. A. Badass. She's funny and smart, handy with knives, and incredibly loyal to her loved ones. I love strong-willed, warrior heroines, and Elena totally fits that mold. 
 In general I enjoyed the story too, especially the dynamics between humans/vampires/angels. I'm definitely intrigued enough to continue reading this series!
