I have always loved YA Paranormal Romances, however, they tend to get a little repetitive at times, but Accardo has delivered an exciting, refreshing story that incorporates all the YA PNR elements that draw me to this genre, whilst introducing a fresh lot of characters.I liked Jessie's sassiness in the beginning. After a while though, I got a bit tired of her. Not that I didn't appreciate her spunk, she was fun and feisty, but she kind of became a bit predictable. She did show signs of development when she decided to rescue her family no matter the consequences. I wish there had been a little more clarity on why Jessie suddenly gained her father's powers, but I'm sure this is something that will be dealt with more as this series continues.What I really loved was the use of the Seven Deadly Sins. I have always had a fascination with them, so for them to, literally, be brought to life was awesome. I was totally enthralled by the story and I was excited to see how it would develop, and what twists and turns would be added to up the ante. I mean, they are the Sins after all!I loved Lukas. He was a right and proper gentleman, but he had a dark side, even if it wasn't really him. My heart broke for him every step of the way, he was in a lose, lose situation, but showed real strength when he refused to let someone else suffer in his place. I hated that he'd been used and I was cheering when a certain witch got payback for all the evil she'd spewed into the world.This story was an exciting adventure. Readers of YA PNRs will love every second of this book.
