Review: Decent novella with gaps ...

I received an eBook copy from the author for purpose of honest review.  I was not compensated for this review, and all conclusions are my own responsibility.This book opens with a sex scene, and all of the background that led to the sex is seen through random memories as the book progresses.  Joaquin is a vampire, unbeknownst to Ariana, although they have been near constant companions for the past three months.  Despite her being an "investigative reporter", there is little about Joaquin that she has pressed for answers on, and the revelation of what he is sends her into a tailspin.From that point forward, Ariana's life becomes nearly consumed with anger and revenge as aided by a rival for power of Joaquin.  Although his devotion to the Ariana he knew never wavers, the new dynamics in their relationship mean that someone will die; he just wants to preserve a possibility of life with her.There were several gaps in the characters that didn't fit for me. Ariana was at times so clueless that I wanted to slap her.  What was intriguing and interesting was the long standing rivalry for supremacy with Charon, and her sorcery as a weapon, yet it was never really divulged.  The book most certainly could have used another round with an editor, and there were some questions unanswered that needed sorting, but it was a decent quick read at just under 100 pages.
