For an independently published book, this was very good! Few spelling mistakes and unique cover art. Kudos Ms. Maclaine! (Actually, I recently saw on Amazon.com that a publishing company picked up this book -and hopefully future sequels- and will be mass published soon.)The plot was interesting and original. I think it explored new grounds with witch-vampires.
I would have liked for it to be a bit longer (so used to those 700+ Harry Potter's that I now expect all books to be that long ;) ), but Maclaine left room for a sequel. As it is, it could standalone.
The heroine, Cin, was likeable and amusing, though she sometimes broke from the novel's time period (the 1800s, I believe) with more modern speech. Secondary characters added to the humor and realistic-ness of the book. Little things, like a kitten cuddling with a vampire, add to this story's charm.
I look forward to the further adventures of Cin and the Righteous.
