I really enjoyed this book. I felt that the dialogue exchanges between the characters was very realistic for  today. Adrienne is a blend of the good girl who tries to do the right thing because she was raised to, and  the self-esteem challenged girl that always feels lacking in looks and intelligence. She often doubts herself and her instincts like many 17 year old girls do, which often leads to getting her into some sort of trouble. She also has an inner strength that is just waiting to burst out as she matures and has more guidance for her gifts.Jayden is part typical spoiled and irresistible jock, part really good guy willing to make sacrifices for his family even when that puts their needs before his own. His ancestral ties to the curse had never really been explained to him so that he could fully understand that his role is one he can't walk away from or avoid.Rene is a really street-smart, street-tough guy that isn't afraid to get his hands dirty to do what he thinks is morally right and protect innocent people, but with a blind spot for his brother out of loyalty to him. He is going to have to choose between doing what the spirits are guiding him to do, and standing by his brother even when he can see it is absolutely the wrong choice.As these three are pulled into a tight circle with a interesting dynamic, they each start to grow and see the reality of how their ancestry has bound them together and cursed them to fight to save each other, their families and community using their ties to Voodoo to help them win this battle.I am looking forward to reading the rest of this story and seeing how these characters grow even more as they are really just beginning this battle against evil.
