I thoroughly enjoyed this book as it reminded me somewhat of Anita Blake without the sex! Vampires, werewolves, witches, some friendly and some not so much. I also saw elements of C.E. Murphy's Walker Paper series, particularly the spirit guides. Persephone does lots of meditation where her spirit animal, a jackal gives her help and advice as well as a mustang who embodies the Goddess.

For the most part I liked Persephone's character though her naivety regarding vampires and even werewolves became dangerous to her and her loved ones. I would think that if you get involved in kenneling werewolves during the full moon, that you would research werewolves and see exactly what you are getting yourself in for. And when the vampires entered the picture, the same. But she just rolled with the punches tripping and stumbling along. I disliked Vivian immensely and couldn't understand why Persephone caved in to her blackmail attempt without a fight. I did like Johnny though the stereotypical bad boy image surely didn't fit him. He was a sweetheart and it was refreshing for Persephone to finally see this. It will be interesting to see where Ms. Robertson takes this series.
