Cassandra Palmer has a very unique situation - she is a seer who was raised by a vampire mafioso from a very early age. When she was old enough, she escaped and at the start of this book she is in Atlanta and her old boss has found her. It also turns out other vamps are looking for her too and slowly throughout the book you find out why so many are taking an interest in her. The story is very fast paced but there were many times where it felt like in the middle of a fight and action, Cassie pauses to have a long conversation with someone so we can learn some backstory or more about whats going on. It felt a little bit disconcerting that knives are being thrown around and I'm pretty sure that Cassie is just standing there in the middle of everything with a dazed look on her face and shes talking to a ghost. At least tell me shes hiding or behind some barrier and has time to talk. Even with this distracting habit by the author, the world and characters are interesting enough for me to want to read the next book.
