THE PLOT: Dakota Frost is the best magical tattoo artist in Atlanta. But this Atlanta is crawling with vampires, shapeshifters,witches and those who straddle the edge of both worlds. Edgeworlders like Dakota. But when a werewolf asks Dakota to do a suspicious tattoo for him, Dakota is dragged over the edge she's straddled for so long. Throw in some secret agent men, vampires with fetishes, a bratty werecat, and some very high stakes and dangerous people and you've got a fast paced, addictive read.
THE CHARACTERS: Dakota was, for the most part, likeable. I liked how the author made her very different from other paranormal heroines. With her mohawk and attitude, Dakota kept her friends and enemies on their toes. Her love interests were well done too. They had feelings and were nice guys, not just drool worthy cardboard cutouts. Dakota's zany array of friends provided comic relief and kept the pages turning between big scenes. The villains were appropriately twisted and creepy. Everyone felt very real, even the vampires :)
OVERALL: Overall, this book was well written and fast paced. My only complaint is that more of a backstory and laying down of the rules could have been provided about Dakota's world, but that is a fairly minor complaint. 4 stars.
