I find that I have mixed feelings when it comes to this book.  While I liked the story and it moved along at a good pace, I had a hard time connecting with the characters.  And that’s not to say that I didn't like them, I did.  As a Fantasy Adventure the story was spot on.  You have your dark organization who want to rule the world or enslave the human race, I’m not telling you which.  You have the good guys who are out to stop them.  You have new friendships, and old ones, some platonic others with varying degrees of romance.  Vampires, shape shifters, angels, witches, demons, and a few unknowns make for a varied cast.  I guess it just felt a bit to pat for me and part of this could come from the writing style which is not a favorite of mine.  I am not sure if you would call it narrative or third party.  Then again a few times it switched to first party.  The tense were off in a few places and all these things brought it down from a great read to a good one. I guess my biggest complaint was that I felt like I was being told what happened or how someone felt instead of shown.  Again that is all in the style and type of book.  I liked the story enough that I wouldn't turn down the chance to read the next book.  In fact, I really would like to know what happens to Phoenix and if he finds himself a sweetheart.
