Cassidy runs a little antique/pawn shop in Charleston – but few of her patrons know her true job: finding cursed, haunted or otherwise dangerous magical items and taking them off the market. It’s a mission her family has had for a long time, aided and guided by the vampire, Sorren and her employee T...
3.5 starsWell, first thing first ... the blurb is slightly misleading!! I thought that the story would be mainly of Cassidy and his business partner, Sorren. But Sorren didn't appear until about 1/4 of the story and most of the times, I felt that he did things out of Cassidy's reach. Instead, Cassid...
It seemed to take me ages to finish this book. And I kept asking myself, why am I not more enthusiastic about this read?The writing is well done. The characters are all well developed (except for Sorren, the vampire, who's flat and uninteresting), the setting comes alive and I adore Charleston. The ...
I loved this book, it drew me in from the start. The action started more or less from page 1 and continued right to the end. The story was different and really flowed.

It was easy to get into, easy to connect with the characters, and plenty of fun to watch them battle supernatural beasties, a dem...
[I got an ARC through NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.] Hard to tell whether I liked it, or found it simply “OK”, so let’s consider this a 2.5 stars. There are a lot of good ideas in this novel. About the magical community (the Alliance isn’t so big, the Family is likely to become a ...
DNF at 60%. The cover grabbed me and the synopsis made me think this could be quite a fun read.It turned out it took a lot of reading. That’s not to say it was bad or anything, for me it was just okay; nothing special. I just prefer shorter books. And ones with less description. (I’m probably the ...
