Let me first start off by saying that this was a fun read! I enjoyed Treanor's characters and found the plot to be both humorous and intriguing.There's no question that I love Serafina. She's definitely a live by your wits type of girl who grew up in the school of hard knocks. While she tends to use her psychic gifts to help others, I will admit that I found humor in those moments where she went out of her way to pull the wool over the eyes of those who deserved it. She's real, and I must say it was great to see her grow as the story progressed. Blair, on the other paw, was a challenging character to get into. There were moments where I loved him and other moments where I wanted to claw him to death because he struck me as being overbearingly smug. This sadden me a bit because he's rather hot all things considered. By far my favorite characters were Jilly, Jack, and Phil. These three sidekicks provided several moments of comedic relief which left me giggling every time they appeared. I'd love to see Treanor write a book entirely about these three.As far as the plot goes, it was enjoyable. I liked how both characters danced around their feelings for each other rather than just jumping into bed right from the start. They each had real baggage issues to work through, and that made their relationship feel more real to me. I also really liked the scenes involving Serafina and her business. In particular I loved the scene involving her and a seance she does for two brothers. I won't say any more as I wouldn't want to spoiler things, but it definitely made me laugh.Overall, I'm curious to see what Treanor has in store next for these characters and I must say that this is a great start to what promises to be an exciting series.
