Review: Lacks Details. ** I may write spoilers***

This book kept me interested. It has some mystery, fantasy and action with a little bit of romance. But what I didn't like was the lack of descriptions when it really needed it. I usually hate when books are way too bloated or long but this one is just the opposite. There was too little explained in this book. The first two chapters are very choppy and hard to understand, especially when the fantasy elements come into play.Some examples:-Jensen discovers her sister missing and bad guys at her apartment. This wasn't questioned or addressed later in the book.-When she was at school earlier, supposedly there was a battle that involved Liam and the school principle (which lead to the principle's death). I did not get that from reading the first few chapters. At the time, I didn't even comprehend what was going on as I read through that part. The only reason why I know there was a fight between the good guys and bad guys was from a later explanation toward the end of the book.-When Jensen and Liam go to a night club, Brennen is using magic on them before they discovered he was watching them. I really didn't get what was happening  at that time. I had to re-read a few parts to catch up to what the characters were talking about or understand that "OH, there is magic happening".-At the Ball with Fiona when Jensen sees whats really going on, there was no descriptive transition of Fantasy to reality.I felt like in these magical moments there is an extreme lack of description and no explanation that there is magic being used. If it's affecting the characters emotionally write how they feel and how their mind is reacting. If its physical write how its physically happened: lights flashing, a mist rolls in, etc. with more detail and explanations. The author also mentions mythical creatures expecting us to follow what she's talking about. Like when they call Jensen a Nixie, I had no clue what that was and Jensen obviously didn't know either. But there was no description about it. The author also jumps around calling Liam and his allies Elves and back to fairies. As far as I know they are two different things but maybe I'm wrong? It was just very confusing in some areas and not explained clearly as scenes opened up. I did like this book and It wasn't all bad just wish it wasn't so round about and little more focused. I hope the author chooses to rework it a little bit. It also ends on a cliffhanger.
