My name is Vinna, and I’ve been keeping a lot of secrets.
You would too if you'd experienced some of the weird shit I have: red-eyed monsters chasing me, markings on my body appearing out of nowhere, a strange power that crackles colorfully over my skin from time to time, and don't get me started on the weapons I can conjure up almost out of nowhere.
Lucky for me, I have yet to meet someone whose ass I couldn't kick, inside the ring or out. I put that to the test when I run headfirst into a fight that brings all my secrets, and reality as I know it, crashing down around me.
Now, I'm looking for answers and trying to piece together what the hell is going on. Paranormal is my new way of life. It's not going to be easy, and I'm not exactly welcome.
That is, until I meet the boys, and trust me, they are anything but boyish.
I'm up against elders who think I’m too powerful, a family who views me as a threat, and something lurking in the shadows that's been coming for me my whole life.
There’s not a chance in hell I’m going down without a fight. I’m not lost anymore, and I'm about to show this world exactly what I can do.

This book sucked me in even though I thought I wasn't in the mood to read about a heroine who fights for a living. I loved the unconventional approach the author took in introducing the MC to the fantastical world in which she's now a citizen. However, this is definitely another one of these ‘MC is the most powerful and she's constantly going to remind you of it' RH series, but I can appreciate that she's also breaking the rules and restructuring their world instead of being a passive participant.
In this installment (as I write this, I'm almost done with book 2) I would say I didn't initially like the connection/chemistry between the MC and her harem was naturally developed. This book also suffers from relying too heavily on ‘we're destined to be together so obviously we're attracted to each other and should be together'. That's not to say that there isn't chemistry there but just that it didn't grow as organically as I wish it would.
The plot and mystery behind the MC's parents disappearance was honestly a lot more interesting than I expected. The world-building is complex enough to be intriguing yet not overly prevalent. As I will always say when I read any type of fiction, the characters, character development and interaction are most important to me, everything is just background noise.
