[*I received this title from NetGalley in exchange for a honest review.*]Ok not my cup of tea. Firstly, let me begin by saying that I have not read the whole book as I was unable to stay interested enough. I feel that this book has real potential, but Ms. Marie Treanor fell short on the delivery.The plot is interesting as the summary is what drove to give the book a try. I am an avid reader of anything with vampires in it and when mixed with men in kilts, I won't stop until I read it. I won't comment on the plot as I do not think that I read enough to develop an opinion on it, but I will tell you what I interpreted from what I read.The main heroin, Serafina MacBride. She is a phony psychic that scams people out of their money (basically). Those that she works with seem to be more of the same character description and follow her direction. I was disappointed by the lack of real detail here and found that she was more of a stock character than a leading lady. I think that she could have been strengthened by being given more of a complex personality and if the author was going for quirky, this could have been done with humor as I found myself thinking more that she was the joke instead of her just having an interesting disposition.I regret that there isn't more I can say about the book as a whole, but in general from what I construed from the few chapters that I did read is that there needs to be an influx in description. I want to be able to delve into the characters head and learn about them. I believe that Ms. Treanor has a great plot to work with, it just needed that extra umph!
