** spoiler alert ** You ever have a dream where you realize you're having the dream but you had zero control of what was happening. That's what's happening to our author here. The story is fast paced, aggressively so, leaving no room for things like exposition or character development.

MC has just lost her mom (who she has known as her grandma her whole life but we ladida past this fact without a believable excuse) and accidentally summons two angels. She knows absolutely nothing about magic at this point and both angels say something along the lines of how it should have been impossible but do we discuss... Nope we plow through. (I should mention that MC has been casually mentioning her BFF and how great and supportive she is but she shoos the friend out the door with some really IQ deficient lies and we never hear about her again)

Next, the angels are said to explain the situation (as in they don't actually explain it, MC just mentions how they said some stuff about it to her in some expositional text. NGL, the blurb explains this in more detail than the book ever will.) and the MC casually mentions that she has a dead boyfriend who died in a really badly thought out drug related accident.

Luckily Lo and behold he (the dead lover) is alive and vampire-tastic. Not just that, he's her third guardian and lover(we find out later that he's the only one she bumps uglies with despite him not being on the book cover)

At this point I developed a nasty headache and I was just done.

This book sucks, the writing style is sloppy and I would call the MC a Mary Sue but I actually like Mary Sue's and only make fun of them ironically to stick it to the man.

The entire book is D-tier Wattpad level mess and should just be gutted and reworked from the concept development up. I would not recommend it to anyone for any reason.
