This book had all of the trademark Kristen Ashley things that I love.  The meandering, run on prose. The funny, spirited heroine, the hot alpha guy, the beautiful love/sex scenes, the angst filled drama.  The problem was that I could not connect with the characters.  KA usually wraps me up with her words, allowing me to feel everything the heroine feels.  This heroine, while she was very funny at times,  was over the top cutesy.  She felt like she was 32 going on 12.  Her BFF the same.  Giggling and muttering about hot guys. Talking about shoes when a witch is trying to kill her.  Please spare me.  The fantasyland was KA meets Walt Disney.  Birds sitting on her shoulder, her other world sister dancing around tra la la-ing.  It was also totally unrealistic and unbelievable.  I like fantasy.  This series brings to mind Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark series but for some reason hers is believable but KA's is not.  Fantasy is not KA's forte.  The character I most connected with in this book, although a minor one, was Noc, Tor's alternate universe self.  He is a hot guy,alpha male cop in Seattle., who helps save the day.  Sound familar KA fans?  I bought the first three books in this series for $.99.  This one and the first were ok.  Golden Dynasty was good.  That said I will probably go on to pay $3.99 for the next in the series because I am that addicted to Kristen Ashley.
