Ugh I love the narrator! I think Deuchler did such an amazing job, and I really liked listening to her voice honestly. Okay yeah I feel like I’m fangirling a lot right now but yes, I love it when I adore a narrator. It really makes it for me, and can break a book for me. It’s happened before, and trust me, it was not fun.

On to the book, wow I really liked this novel. I don’t know if I’m really up on the urban fantasy world, so I’ll say that this is one of my first urban fantasy novels that I at least remember reading. It’s been super great, although I super hate that kids can be super cruel! Like what the heck, man. One of the first things that the synopsis tells us is that her physical appearance on her pale skin, and her “weird diet” makes her a target from the other kids at school. Seriously there are so many things that can could actually be a problem, and someone’s skin tone and what they eat is not something that is cause for tormenting, you know? Ugh people can be so cruel.

Anyway, I love that Alena is a vampire-witch hybrid too! I feel like that’s not as normal for me in a lot of the books I’ve read. I’ve seen a werewolf-witch hybrid and I loved that! And I love Alena too with her hybrid self. I also thought it was so cool that her partner in crime (not real crime but you know) ended up being her childhood playmate?! Like imaginary childhood playmate that somehow ended up being real?! I’ve always wondered what I would do if my imaginary friends ended up being real, and this book really made me think about it.
