For those who appreciate the genre of urban fantasy, you will enjoy the blend of the real world juxtaposed with the imagined one. The connections between the two fit well together and make sense. It's not a huge leap to see how things could connect.

Here's the set-up:
Natalie’s parents weren't the nurturing type—and she has the physical
and emotional wounds to prove it. For sixteen years she’s hidden behind a
wall of sarcasm and decadent desserts, but now her father is back, and
she has only one thought: to kill him before he can hurt the family that
took her in.
But there’s more to his darkness than even his own
daughter can understand, and a gun is no defense against magic that can
raise the dead.
It turns out those scars he left on Natalie’s
back were more than just a sadistic hobby. Now her father demands that
she finish a ritual so ancient, so terrifying, that even the vampires
and werewolves are nervous.
Can anyone protect her?
One Reviewer Notes:
The characters were well written and I loved Natalie and Val. I got caught up on the drama and became angry with those who continually kept secrets and instigated betrayal and actually shed some tears when the drama and heartbreak was revealed and compounded again and again. There is plenty of action and scheming, enough to feed that need for an urban fantasy treat. The story has a satisfying ending and a promise of more to come with the continuation of the series, although without one of those cliffhangers that makes you want to throw your book at the wall.
