It was a struggle to finish this book. There were some moments-really tiny ones-when it was kind of amusing. But for the most part, it's a dud.

When Abby's boss dies she becomes the new Chalice, a kind of anti-demon on earth. Dante, a vampire is the guardian of the Chalice and must now protect Abby at all costs. The two are faced with countless forces of evil who are now tracking Abby. Romance blossoms between the two.

Dante is sexy. Abby is funny-I'm not sure whether that's intentional or not, but at times it was all that made the reading bearable.

There are moments when Dante and Abby are on the run, when the whole this just comes across as silly. It struck me as a badly distorted version of Buffy. It's vague, confused, and complex. I found Ivy's writing lacking in the style and imagination necessary to keep the reader drawn in.

I bought this book thinking it was paranormal romance, and to me it seems more like vampire spoof. I'm sorry to say I will not be carrying on with this series.
