I found this story to be a fun, quick read. Plus, I didn't see Alexis' decision at the end coming. (end of mild spoiler) Still, the characters were fun and there were some really good plot twists. Plus, I wished that Alexis' powers had gone in a different direction (mild spoiler) because I don't like vampire stories. Some things seemed rushed and the pace was a little hectic at times. At 99 pages, this book could have been a bit longer. A lot was left to be explained in the next book. The mystery and family history in this story was pretty good.or at least, the beginning of pretty good. Then her life goes to heck in a handbasket. At least, until she meets Sebastian and turns 17. When not matter-of-factly castings spells she doesn't really expect to work, she is hanging out with her one friend (the daughter of the Baptist preacher) and studying for school. Having grown up without a father and with a Wiccan as a mother, Alexis is a bit unusual as far as heroines go. The focus of the story is firmly Alexis and her family. There is a touch of lovely romance, but it is not the focus of the story. I thought that it would be a fairly predictable YA romance. This story was rather different than what I expected.
