I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.  SPOILER ALERT!!!!Where to begin?Let's begin with the pros:  I found myself devouring this book from page one. With compelling characters and non-stop(overused but completely accurate for this story.) action, I was pulled into this story. The characters are refreshing, the plot unique and the story telling was of a rare form.The main character, Rachel,  finds herself awakened in a place she doesn't know, with no memory of the past. She is forced to fight and call upon her supernatural talents to save herself and a beautiful little girl name Livia. The story moves quickly for her as she finds herself on the journey that will forever change her life. I adore the fact that she is a super strong, kick butt heroine who is allowed to show her strength as well as her vulnerability.  Along the way she finds a rapid relationship, and encounters all manner of unique creatures, weres, vamps, fae. With sound writing and interesting plot, this book does a wonderful job of world building for future novels.The cons: Rapid relationship, I was torn with how this moved so quickly and couldn't decide if I liked it because it was different or hated it because it was rushed.There were a few grammar errors, which is bound to happen. The sex scenes didn't flow quite as smoothly and felt very disconnected. They felt a bit rushed but to be quite honest, they were what they needed to be. I hate it in a story when there is a 4-5 page sex scene when the world is on the brink of destruction or someone is in dire straits, and the rescuers are too busy banging each other's brains out to remember this!The biggest con, the introduction of a character who does not survive but does not garner enough attention(apparently) to get a full death scene. She disappears and is mentioned in one paragraph as to what happened. Why spend the time on a an interesting character just to brush off her final scene like that? Very frustrating but I am hoping the author has a plan for this.All in all if a few things were fixed this would have received a higher rating. Very fast paced, kept my attention and I want the next book asap. Lol.
