I thought the plot was interesting, and I really liked some of the side characters. There were a decent number of gaps in information that would have helped me better understand the magic system and the characters. I get that there was supposed to be mystery that will probably be uncovered later in the series, but it got a little confusing.  I have mixed feelings about the ending.

Great imagery. Intriguing storyline. It dragged a bit unnecessarily but I’d read the next in the series.

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

It took me a little while to get into this book, but that was on me. But once I got into Dari's story I wanted to know more. That could just be the noisy side of me, lol. In this new adult fantasy Dari finds out she has summoner's magic. She comes to know this after being attacked by a daemon and Mohawk tattoo badass mage named Ash saves Dari and her boyfriend Tyler.
There were times when reading I got lost when conversations were happening. I didn't know who was saying what to who, so I had to go back and reread just to understand what was happening. 
The beginning did drag some and there were points when I was like why is this even in the story. But overall I did like the story line and I am looking forward to reading the next book once published.

I liked this book but not as much as I thought I was going to. First of all I want to talk about the ending of the book or at least the last part of the book. I didn’t like the redemption arc the author gave to the MC’s bf AT ALL. Personally to me it felt kinda rushed and not at all authentic to the feelings the MC had about what he did to her. I also felt like the author could’ve kept him in the book as a villain instead and that would’ve been better. Another thing that kinda turned me off the book was some of the feelings described by the MC for her mentor, obviously nothing crazy weird happened or I would’ve given it a way lower rating but it kinda felt like it was just thrown in the book and not at all fleshed out and I can’t even remember if they were mentioned again or not. 
Some of the things I did enjoy about the book were literally all the demons that got summoned I loved them so much. I was also really enjoying the plot of the book before the end, which let me say wasn’t bad, but just not something I enjoyed.
