Here is a little secret about me most of you might not know, I am a sucker for a snarky, witty, fiesty, kick butt heroine (or hero, I'm not picky) and that is exactly what I got in Maggie. Through in some mythology and you have my dream book. Can I just say I love Maggie now and call it good with this review? No? Are you sure?Okay, maybe that isn't enough to portray how great and fun this read was so I 'll be good and make this longer, after all, I am pretty sure the publisher is looking for a little more and the author probably wouldn't mind a few more details either. So here goes.This book, KICKED butt. And then, it took names and kicked butt again.Maggie is so sarcastic, so snarky that it actually makes her loveable. I know, weird right? She is border line witchy and I loved every minute of her witty banter, hot temper and sometimes downright pissy attitude. I couldn't help it, the girl rocks. Her inner monologue is almost as good as her outer and to top it off she has some pretty amazing friends to back her up.Mac is surly, ornery and downright rotten at times but his softer side shows through just enough that he too becomes pretty loveable and irresistible. The mystery behind just exactly who and what he is, didn't hurt either. And together, these two were pretty explosive.I loved the mythology of the demis and semis and even though everything wasn't laid out and explained it some how worked. It didn't bother me because it makes me want to pick up the second book so I can find out more, learn more about Maggie's powers and the different abilities of all the semis. And even though the romance was nice, I love that it wasn't the center of the book, that there was action and a plot that wasn't all about the love (I know you are gasping right now and can't believe I, the hopeless romantic, just said that, but it's true) but more about Maggie, her powers, her heritage and the secrets behind all the people in her life that knew what she was and didn't tell her.I am really looking forward to the second book because honestly, this was a fun read that kept me smiling and laughing and even sometimes swooning a little.
