3.0

I was really happy to find this book because I've been looking everywhere for a paranormal romance with a Black main character and this is it! I liked this book enough but I didn't love it, it really wasn't a romance to be honest. I really like the book from the beginning to the middle, that was really exciting and engaging, the stuff that came after is what I'm not really a fan of.  

Everyone keeps complaining about the "hip hop" dialogue and I'm not understanding if they're irritated that the characters were speaking AAVE (African American Vernacular English) or if they're bothered because some of the dialogue is a little clunky. 

I wish there were more than two actions scenes in this book, the action scenes are really where this author shines. 

Overall, this book could have been better but it was okay.
I'm giving it 3 out of 5 stars.
