Summary: Dark fantasy horror pseudo-erotica quest
Review: This book is not the typical horror novel. It combines elements from many genres, spinning themes that could easily be stereotypical together in a dynamic fashion that results in something new and innovative.At its heart, this book is about Vanessa, a college student who merely dabbles in the occult until she acquires a book that contains a spell for eternal life. With a goal clearly in mind, Vanessa grows in power, as her life becomes entangled with werewolves, vampires, ignorant and selfish witches, disembodied souls, and various other characters, while she searches for the components necessary for eternal life. The writing is fluid and easy to read, although there are points where the author gives more information than we need, not even offering the reader an opportunity to guess the mysteries before they're unfolded. But this isn't a mystery novel, so that can be forgiven, especially from a first novel.
