Portia Mullins had always lived the life of a normal teenager, up until her sixteenth birthday. She is then informed by her grandma that she is actually a witch who is a descendant of a long line of witches and warlocks. After overcoming her disbelief she finds that being a member of the coven comes with one great perk in the form of the school's handsome bad boy, Vance Mangum. Vance and Portia have an immediate connection as a budding romance begins, only to be threatened by turbulent skies on the horizon as Vance's checkered past rears its ugly head to haunt them. Portia is forced to use her untried powers in defence of everything she loves in a desperate attempt to hold on to the one thing that really matters in her life.
What I really liked about this book was all the magic. Lacey Weatherford was really good at portraying Portia's first initial shock at realising she's a witch and also later on when she realises that she's a lot more powerful and advanced in her magic than anyone realised.
Vance has got to be the best boyfriend anyone could have. Portia is very lucky even if Vance seems to jump into things a bit fast.
This book was a very easy read for me. At the end I almost ended up in tears, but luckily I didn't break into tears before my whole family!
After a very unexpected ending I proceeded to buy and read the next book in the series The Demon Kiss and loved it just as much.
Although the second book was brilliant I personally think it could have focused more on the magical side of things. It was more about love and danger, than the actual witches and warlocks (even though the danger is being caused by a warlock.)

Just when you start really loving the book and getting comfortable with the characters you find out about Vance's dreadful past. Having a demon farther that wants to drink your blood is a bit over ' bad parenting'.
Portia is pulled into this messy past as it becomes part of their present and future along with her dad and grandma's coven.

This book was a perfect mix of magic, high-school drama, romance and life-threatening danger. I feel very sorry for Vance as he suffers from cravings when around Portia as a consequence of his very horrible upbringing.
