Wonderful story! This book had a bit of everything; action, adventure, humor, magic, angst, betrayal, romance, spice, and a good story. The characters were great, and I am looking forward to learning even more about them as the series progresses. The world is fascinating, and I hope to see more world-building throughout the series. The multiple narration was top tier. They each encompassed their characters and brought them to life. They only thing that would have made it better is if it had been done in a dramatized style. I stead each narrator had their own chapters. It didn't take away from the story. Great read/listen!

This felt like reading fanfic of an original work I knew nothing about. I checked multiple times to make sure it was #1 in a series because it seemed like I was missing a lot of backstory and worldbuilding. I guess from reading other reviews that it is a spinoff, but I don't know how I could have known that to read them in the correct order. It also had the angst and meandering plot of a fanfic, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes that's what you're in the mood for! Not sure I will continue the series since I don't care very much about any of the characters, but I did finish this book to see what ridiculous thing would happen to them next, so maybe!

~*~ Audio Review ~*~
I was sucked into this story from the start. This story follows Haley a blood witch, Elian a fae vampire, Jax a fear demon and Hudson a gargoyle on a dangerous mission to protect Haley’s family. I love the connection these four have and there are a lot of emotions from their pasts that give the story depth and there is also plenty of heat.
The audiobook really brings this story to life. Mackenzie Cartwright is the perfect Haley, she does a great job portraying Haley’s feistiness, Teddy Hamilton brings to life Elian and you can feel all the characters turmoil in his performance. Jason Clarke does a great job in his delivery as the broody Hudson. Aaron Shedlock was the standout for me in this audio as Jax.
This book does end in a cliffhanger and I can’t wait to see what happens next with Haley and her monsters.
