This is the first book in the Dark Forgotten series in which Y2K brought the emergence of vampires, witches, ghouls, werewolves, gargoyles, fey, and other non-humans into the open. Holly Carver is a witch who supports herself by casting minor spells and de-haunting houses to pay her college tuition. She is descended from a long line of witches but a childhood trauma keeps her from tapping into what she refers to as her "big M magic." Her business partner is a 600-year-old vampire, Alessandro Caravelli, who is devoted to her but also serves the vampire queen. Someone has opened a portal into their college town in order to bring a demon through to defeat the vampire queen and go to war with the other supernaturals. With Alessandro's help, Holly must overcome her trauma to cast the demon back to the other realm.
I had a difficult time getting into this book. The rules in its world seemed to constantly change at the author's whim making it hard to keep track of the characters and their abilities. Therefore, many parts did not make sense to me. The character of Alessandro was described as having long, blond, curly hair and very handsome, and that was such an oxymoron that I couldn't get past it. His hair sounds like it belongs on a woman or a drag queen. I will not be reading any more of this series (and not just because of his hair). 334 pages.
