I have to admit- when I started this book, I didn't think I was going to end up liking it. The beginning of the book was very jumbled, and I really couldn't "connect" with the main character "Nyx". She seemed very selfish and spoiled. There wasn't enough "back-story" to really understand what was going on in the story, and I felt there was a lot of unneccesary name dropping of designer products. (Also the term of "Xphone" instead of "Iphone" was silly and annoying.)

I almost gave up on the book, but for some reason, about 2/3 of the way through, I found myself beginning to like Nyx a bit. The author finally gives us a little bit of insight into her character, and we actually see some real emotion from her. The action in the story really began to pick up at this point too, although the final battle scene with the demons left me with the strange feeling that I was watching "Ghostbusters 2" for some reason.

Did I love this book? No. Did I hate it? No. Would I read the sequel? I think I will... (Especially since I've already got it!) I have just enough interest in what happens between Nyx and her two beaus that it'll keep me reading for at least one more installment. Maybe book 2 will be a little easier to read, since I no longer dislike the heroine as much... We'll see...
