I read the prequel [b:Winds of Change|35453396|Winds of Change (Delphine Rising, #0.5)|Angela Sanders|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1497732454s/35453396.jpg|56840394] before I read this book. I just finished this one last night and I CAN'T WAIT to get the next in the series! It was full of action and sassy female characters. The story had a nice build up to a suspenseful ending. If you love paranormal romance and action all wrapped up into one, you are going to love this book. I typically don't give too much information about the story in a review as I hate it when I read spoilers, but Abby is one of my new favorite heroines. Her whole family is a hoot and her mom is definitely a strong female role model as are all of the girls. It would have been a quick read for me if I had had more time to sit and read when I got it. I will definitely be getting the next book. Angela Sanders is one of my new go to authors. If you have not tried her books yet, you should.

This is a mix of magic and faith, not what I was expecting at all. I usually avoid anything faith-based as I feel it can exclude readers of differing or no faith. However, this blended quite well and didn't come across as preachy at all, more an image of a family who use their faith to shore up their magical defences.
Abbi is on a not-so-slow-road to destruction. After the loss of her best friend, she hits the alcohol hard. This is affecting her magical abilities and hinders her fight against rogue vampires. Her sister, Liz, has this cool sword of God but Abbi doesn't seem to care about expanding her skills. Add in Danny. Ex-boyfriend, a good friend but a reminder of everything she has lost. man, Abbi is mean to that boy. He's like a puppy, he just keeps loving her even when she is downright nasty to him!
There is a great mix of family, found family, and allies. Deeply comical moments (Karaoke anyone?) with the deeply profound and emotional. Delphine is not an ancestor I'd want to lay claim to either.
I'd definately be happy to read the next book in the series.
