When I first came into the story, I was a bit confused. There was a lot of action taking place, and I wasn't sure why. As I continued reading, the point of it was explained. An army of demons was sweeping across the land, possessing humans, and Remy and her family are at the forefront of the battle to save humanity.Remy is a tough chick as is her brother, while their younger sister is more cerebral and tends to stay at their command center while her older siblings go on their missions. That is until they devise a plot that requires the younger sister to act as a willing victim to the evil that has set up their base in the area.Willow Cross has a knack for dialogue that I don't see in some of the commercial mass market books I have read. Her characters are smart and snappy and their relationships with each other come across well in their interactions. Being a first story in an obvious series, I felt disappointed when it came to an end, but it did leave me wanting to know what happens next and when the sequel is released, I will buy it to find out what the hell it is.The story is fast paced and moves well. If you are a fan of action fiction, I would recommend Oceans of Red. It's a quick read and seems headed for a bigger confrontation. The twist at the end suggests it is going to be massive.
