Review: Fun read....
Rating: 4 out of 5

I really enjoyed the story and had fun reading. I want to be entertained when I read, and this story entertained me:) The story line is very imaginative and keeps you hooked. There is so much potential here that I'm sure K. B. Miller will get several books out of this series. There were no "slow" parts and little "page filler" material. The only reason I didn't give this book 5 stars was because of the obvious lack of editing. I'm sure several of you are rolling your eyes right now;) For me, I get distracted from the story I'm reading when there are obvious errors. Changing tense within the same paragraph or sentence is an example. Jumping between past tense and present tense. For example, "He was smiling, so I know he's happy." Errors in words, like writing "not" when the word should be "now".  I'll be reading along, engrossed in the story, when I see an error and it pulls me out of the moment because i have to re-read a sentence or paragraph to figure out what the author meant to say.  The other item that caused me to award 4 stars instead of 5 was the lack of explanations about Mason. We never find out his story or why he feels so instantly connected to Lily. There are hints throughout and the old "soul mate" plot is present, but we are left with questions. For instance, he is supposed to be 500 years old? What makes a vampire "good" vs "evil"? Why can Mason walk around in the day light? Can evil vampires walk around in the daylight too? Maybe these questions will be answered in the future books. Hopefully Lily will develop her "spirit" abilities more because the possible interaction between Lily, her mom and grandmother would make for an interesting addition to the story. Last but not least, the "prophesy" needs more explanation. The bottom line is if you like "witch" and magical, supernatural stories, you'll enjoy this. I will buy the next book with the hope that the editing gets better and more questions are answered.
