Review was first up on For The Love of Fictional Worlds as part of the Blog Tour on 27th of July :)

When you have demons, shapeshifters and witches coming together, who might I mention, are also unapologetic about their sexual preference - mayhem is what you get!

This book grabbed me from the get go, even if it was a little disorienting to jump into a whole new world without any forwarning, but I found my feet quite quickly!

This book is told in four different viewpoint - Gabe and Theo are natural–or feral–witches who have never understood their powers whereas Kitty and Erin are human-demon hybrids–one of whom has been imprisoned and tortured for her powers and the other who lives with the fact that she will always disappoint her ultra demon mom who expects more of her.

But the fun starts when all four of them get together. It is a heady ride and so much fun for the reader - which is complimented by the fact that you get the views of all four of them - so basically you are not left in the dark - you don't get irritated by the pesky questions "If she is doing this, how do you think he will handle that?" and something of the sort!!

Each of them is recruited to a school for wayward demons and of course for sch four different characters - there would be friction, but even that friction was superbly handled!! Not to mention how absolutely thrilled my bookwormish and fangirl heart was with all the literary and movie references. That honestly made the characters all the more real to me!

I am so glad that I chose this book to be the one that shifted my focus from current romance streak to fantasy - do not regret it one bit! ;)
