Engaging Main Character

I started reading at night. After forcing myself to put the book down and go to sleep, I had dreams of the main character, Troy.  The next morning I had to start reading again, even while I was making coffee. I just couldn't wait to get back to the story.

Guess that makes it a real page Turner.  The protagonist is interesting. I appreciated the character's emotional turmoil because she wasn't whiny.  Many twists and turns, with a good cast of secondary character's.

Good read, engaging writing, characters are well developed, the plot carries you in the past and you face problems and issues along with the main characters as if they were your own...This first book sets the stage for the rest of the series.

Good story with interesting characters.  It's nice to see a main character already developed with his own personality and flaws.  Getting to the back story is fun with this character as he becomes more compelling

As all stories to believe lawyer who be able to sustain the amount of physical demands put on them is a bit of stretch still good story line keep me to the end

The main character, Grady Service, is interesting, dedicated and flawed enough to make you really LIKE him. The plot runs smoothly and Isn't bogged down with superfluous characters and side plots that have no bearing on the story. It's a welcome and refreshing not to have to wade through a morass of meaningless effluvia masquerading as "complexity". This book is much like it's main character: straight-forward with just the right amount of mystery and complexity that leaves you satisfied with t h e conclusion yet looking forward to a new adventure.

I picked up this book on Kindle First without very high expectations -- I expected a generic vampire love triangle with maybe some interesting action every now and then. What I did not suspect was to find an engaging story filled with relatable characters, a complex magical world, and hooks that grabbed my attention and held fast.

Part of this was due to the story being set in Boulder, CO. As a denizen of a similar hippy-dippy college town, I was tickled to see vampires hanging out in coffee shops and witches running organic farms. It reminded me of home. Lex was an interesting protagonist, having her own personal struggles but a strong sense of justice and a determination to set things right (as long as such things involved keeping her niece safe). I appreciated her internal monologue and found her a rational POV protagonist. Side characters like Quinn, Simon and Lily were interesting too.

One plot hole I noticed, though: if Charlie nulls all magic around her, and vampires are corpses reanimated by magic, then wouldn't they return to being dead bodies rather than turn human in her vicinity? That was the only thing that bugged me; the rest of the worldbuilding was on point. I eagerly await the next book in the series!

Jesse Tolley is a great main character. I couldn't help loving him right off the bat. The bad guys were great too--the kind of villains I love to see get what they deserve. The story was touching, but the action and the ending kept it from being too sad (I don't enjoy "heartbreaking" when reading for enjoyment).

The downsides for me were the foul language (I particularly hate the "F" word) but the author did make it clear the main character didn't approve of swearing. Still, I'd rather not fill my brain with obscenities. There was opportunity to make the love story between Melinda and Bowie more compelling, perhaps by adding a scene from their past, as was done with Emily and Jesse. But I suppose the author wanted to focus on Jesse and Emily, and to keep the pace fast.

I did like the book, however, the main character could have been a little less brainless.  The story line and the rest were right on the spot with keeping you entertained and looking forward to what comes next.
