Linda Bloodworth has created a very unique world within the town of Fallingbrook that includes Angels, Demons, Vampires, Elves, and even a dragon in a different take on an Angel vs Demon story. A lot of ground is covered in this story with several action packed events happening within just a short few days we find our heroine, Justice along with bff Moira, getting their worlds completely turned upside down. The non stop action was a bit overwhelming at times making emotions seem to be all over the place for the characters. (I would love to see more character development as the series progresses.)
In the midst of this magical and chaotic world created by the author there manages to be a love story, (two love stories actually if we don't leave out bff Moira) between Justice and Darien. I liked the concept of Darien's character and his curse only to be broken by someone that loves him. I did find his dialogue a little bit on the corny side however I do feel that it was a good tool in the story as it reinforced his being from another time.
With all that happened in this book I was beginning to wonder if it was going to be a stand alone or part of series as I wished some of the major action scenes happened with some down time in between. I was surprised when the ending had a cliff hanger.) I am interested in seeing how Justice's story continues and look forward to reading the next book in the series. Linda Bloodworth will be a new author to watch.
The author does offer a warning about violence which I felt was appropriate after having read the book I was surprised to see it was classified as a YA Paranormal book as the descriptive violence may be too much for younger readers or those that do not like graphically written scenes depicting violence. I found myself cringing in a few places as the author painted very vivid pictures. (This is either good or bad depending on reading preferences. I didn't feel it took anything away from the story but do know some readers could have an issue.)
