What I Loved: The Lore in this book was amazing. Toni did an excellent job of giving you the history of the Wiccan and Voodoo cultures, some of the spells/chants used, and a glimpse into their world.  This really helped to bring you into the world instead of keeping you on the outside.What I Liked: This book was about two cultures that don't get a lot of time in books.  Though there are a fair number of books about witches out there, the voodoo side makes the book unique.  The story was very compelling in parts and you want to see how it ends.Complaints:  The book was a little to all over the place for me.  It felt a bit like a stream of ideas that were grouped together but in some instances they appeared to be out of place.  That made it where I was little disconnected from the characters and the story in general.Why I gave it a 3:  The lore and world building was done really well in this book.  You can tell the author put a lot of work into making sure that the actions of the characters rang true.  For a first novel, this was a really good effort.Who I would recommend this too:  Urban Fantasy readers who like Lore and unique world building.  I think this will appeal more to those who love Urban Fantasy more than I do.  The romance was not strong enough for me personally (though it was there)
