I can't decide whether I liked this book or not. All I kept thinking while reading was "white trash" Barbie! I just couldn't fathom the witches magic that was performed using (and eating) roadkill. Yes I did say roadkill - squirrels, possum, armadillo, ugh!

The book started off with a bang and stayed that way through the entire thing. On the eve of her 30th birthday, Lizzie Brown is accosted by her biological grandmother whom she'd never met before and locked inside her own bathroom. Her grandmother proceeds to tell her that she is from a long line of demon slayers and it is her destiny to stop (kill) Vald the demon. Apparently Vald is after Lizzie's immense power (yeah if only she knew how to harness it herself). Enter her protector, Dimitri Kallinikos the griffin. Lizzie is instantly smitten with this Greek hottie and is ecstatic when she learns he is going to teach her magic. One thing leads to another. On top of our white trash witches, we also have to deal with pixies, imps and demons. And supposed allies, the werewolves. Unfortunately the werewolves are fighting amongst themselves and the witches (and Lizzie) get caught in the middle.

This is an exciting story and Lizzie kicks ass (once she learns how). I loved Dimitri and her crazy-ass grandmother though most of the witches got on my nerves. I own book two in the series so I guess I'm going to continue at least that far into the series. Though I must admit I've had my fill of roadkill so it will be a while before I attempt to get back into this adventure.
