So I’m not going to lie this book took me a while to get into. I debated several times about not finishing it because I just really couldn’t get into it in the beginning. However I stuck it out and am so glad I did. The storyline gets so much better and the last half of the book I struggled to put down. And that cliffhanger!! I’m definitely excited to see what happens next.

Hayley has such a bratty attitude and it comes out for the weirdest shit. She expected magic on the first chapter but gave shit to Keane even though had good attentions, and she got offended when she was told she couldn't be the antichrist because she was a girl. "I didn’t want to be the antichrist. I was just irrationally mad I was told I couldn’t be because I was a girl."
And omg, Rhys and Gaius are so stupid. I don't understand how they thought that would work?!

I'm rating this a 3.5..... but I didn't finish it, so take that with a grain of salt. The 3.5 is because the concept behind this book is fantastic - a premise that truly tickles me and made me want to read it in one sitting. However... the writing style left me cold. It is dialogue driven with little description or explanation - plus it is incredibly fast. Our main character, Hayley, is spoiled and immature and frankly, pretty bratty. She accepts the truth of her nature in a heartbeat, yet somehow can't accept that the guy she despises has been trying to protect her from herself for the last few years? It boggles.
Perhaps I gave up too soon, at 24%. Maybe this gets better and I was just suffering through the fluff of intro before the meat of the story caught up to the narrative. Possibly. But possibly not. Regardless, I was saddened to stop as, like I said, I really like the premise. But I just couldn't do it.
Did you like this book? Tell me why, maybe I'll pick it back up again and try once more. Does it get better?

This was lots of fun! Reverse-harem paranormal romance with all sorts of supernaturals. Hayley, a half-witch, discovers just before college that she’s actually a supernatural and her father is none other than Lucifer, making her also half-Angel. This makes Harvard out, and she gets sent to magical school. Some of my favorite, snark-filled scenes were with Keene, the family cat, who is actually a hell-cat shifter, and love interest, Hayley’s destined mate (who of course, Hayley wants nothing to do with.) Also, he can project thoughts into her mind, to make things even more fun. Other awesome characters were vampire Kiernan (with a neat backstory) and warlock Azriel who she gets to know at Fortuna Academy. And then there are the hellhounds… we’ll see about those guys! This is the first in a series, and the chemistry is definitely there between the characters. I’ll definitely be reading on to see how things catch on fire as the relationships develop.

This is intriguing from the very beginning and way to start a new series. The characters are amazing and have incredible dynamics. This is a fun read that is engrossing and the cliffhanger definitely leaves you wanting more.
