Review: Angels or fairy tale characters or . . . something?

This is a snippet of a story about angels or fairy tale characters (I couldn't really tell what they were or what actual powers they had, other than one of them was an "empath") who perform unspecified tasks to fight evil.  The lack of context was a real problem in getting into this story.  I understand that it was meant to be a bridge between books one and two in a series, but maybe a more detailed preface explaining who these people are or what sort of powers they have would help those of us who haven't read the first book.Instead, all we got was a preface explaining that Ren wasn't going to have a happy ending in this story - a rather unnecessary spoiler, I thought.Anyway, Ren is very jealous of his ex-girlfriend or ex-something's happiness (the nature of their relationship wasn't clear - I couldn't tell if they'd been having sex for the last hundred years or if they'd had sex once in a hundred years of unrequited love) so he goes to her house and has a threesome with her and her new boyfriend.  And that is pretty much it.All other action (they fight demons or something?) takes place out of sight.  Weak characters, unnecessary amounts of angst, too much pointless moodiness, and unclear setting make this one that I wouldn't recommend.
