This book sounded promising and I was immediately interested. It started out with a strong opening, the FMC was introduced to world of the paranormal (vampires, witches and slayers) immediately through combat. 
The story is told in dual POVs and comes with a fascinating world building with different types of vampires and slayers. 
 
As for the characters, they’re pretty likeable and I like Raven's sassy comments and her mysterious ability which makes her a badass FMC. I can't wait to see what more can she do if she learn how to access her ability and properly use it.
The love interest – Khamari (MMC) was a mysterious character at the beginning and it wasn’t until the last few chapters that I finally understood the reason of the quick attraction he felt towards Raven. 
 
While I really like the plot idea, the pacing of the story is not to my liking. 
It started out slow, then it picks up a little bit when Raven and Khamari were forced to work together. However, the last few chapters felt rushed because of so many information and twists revealed near the ending. 
Maybe it would've been better if this was divided into two books. 
 
Overall, it’s a pretty good and unique combination of paranormal and Egyptian mythology. 
This series has a potential to be a great one, the ending also makes me want to read the 2nd book so I’m looking forward to it.
