Resumen del Editor

My father talked about Atlantic City the way some women talk about their ex-boyfriends. No good. Avoid at all costs. Soul-sucking even without the demons. Never mind that we lived across the country where, by day we worked as mountain guides, and at night he trained me to use my magic—not that I was allowed to showcase it. That was a hard no. So I hid my powers the way he hid his bourbon—until his murder.

With nothing to lose, I hightail it to—you guessed it—Atlantic City, where I make a deal with a group of monster hunters, including Saxon, a hot hybrid that ignites a helluva lot more than celestial fire. If I survive the takedown of an all-powerful demon, they’ll help me investigate my father’s murder. So what’s a girl to do when the chips are down?

Be the Wild Card they never saw coming.

A Good Start

This book is a good start series, it has plenty of longer arc threads to make you want to pick up the next book and a good self contained story line for the book.

Not for me

I gave this book a chance because I've read other books by this author and it had good ratings. That was a mistake. The main character is annoying and the story unbelievable. Callie's father is quickly killed and she decides to avenge his death. This is not an original plot, but usually authors develop the characters first before sending them on a quest. There is no evolution of Callie so it's difficult to understand her or the world created for her. She proceeds on her quest and everyone she meets is impressed by her. She is immediately welcomed by the vampires and witches. The story is undeveloped which makes the actions of all of the characters unbelievable. I didn't finish this book and returned it.
