Facing her upcoming immortality, her life has become a complicated mess. A new employer and a gruesome murder bring two incredibly complex men into her life, making matters worse.

With her immortality fast approaching, new dangers lurk on the horizon. Secrets are revealed, making her question everything she thought she knew. Will she be able to get her act together in time? Or will she fall victim to those who wish to see her demise?

Favorite Lines “I had a feeling of absolute clarity in that moment. I knew, without a doubt, that this man…no, this vampire, was about to complicate my life in a major way.”

“I know you’re apprehensive, but you need to believe that you can trust me. You are obviously carrying a lot of weight on your shoulders, and I honestly think I can help you with that. I feel like I need to help you with that. I want to be someone you can lean on.”

“Men!” she huffed. “Can’t live with ‘em, can’t ride a cock without ‘em, huh?”

“Please don’t give up on me. Please give this some serious thought. I need you.”

I was super excited about this series when I read the blurb! I mean how could I not be it’s about fairies, vampires, demons, and magic! Woo woo!
Karli has lived her life in hiding, never letting anyone know what she is, except her best friend Erica. Poor Karli feels like she’s living on borrowed time though. As with any Faire she will reach her immortality at 25 with that comes her biggest problem if a vampire gets one whiff of her blood then they could drain you dry.
She’s heartbroken after finding out her half demon boyfriend was having an affair with not only one woman but hordes of them. Then while working one night she meets the sexiest vampire. Then later that night after a grisly murder she meets a so sexy Detective! How could a girl not go crazy! Between the murders and the men things are getting hot, heavy, and action packed. Some kind of demon is going around killing people and these are people Karli knows or works with. Between the murders and the triangle of love I enjoyed every page!
This was a great start for this series! The author sprinkled her fairy dust on me and I couldn’t put it the book down! It was very well written, I never found myself bored, I stayed up until 5 am finishing this book!

FIVE PIXIE DUST FAIRIES
Vampires, Warlocks, and Exes ~ Oh My
Favorite Lines “Oh, for Pete’s sake!” Erica griped. “Will you two please just screw each other’s brains out and get over yourselves? I can’t handle being around this anymore!”

“When all was said and done however, the fact remained that they both evoked more passion than I would have ever thought myself capable of, good and bad. They simultaneously brought out the best in me, the worst in me, and the most in me. Now do you understand why I was so confused?”

“They had complete faith in it. I used to as well, but I lost my way. I’m only realizing now that they were right all along.”

“Dare I say someone with whom I could build a life? This man in front of me was not the playboy that I’d become accustomed to: an owner of several establishments who’d participated in acts of questionable morality. This was a man who would give up that lifestyle in a heartbeat for his chance at love, and family.”
 
“I was hoping to avoid this…but I can’t really be near you right now. It hurts too much. Every time I think about what happened, which let’s face it, is all the time, I think about how none of this would have happened if Maria didn’t have some twisted obsession with you. She would have probably stayed in L.A. if you weren’t in the picture.”

“I held him until I knew he was in a deep sleep…which was right before I walked out the front door.”

Things have gotten hot and oh so heavy in this book. It starts out with poor Karli going crazy, she can’t figure out who she wants is it Leo or is it Vance??  She’s going through the stages of her immortality and one of them is increased sexual drive, like she needs one with all these fine men everywhere she looks.
She won’t see either of them without Erica with her because she doesn’t trust herself around them.
Then one day while she’s at work and in walks this beautiful vampire and HER NAME IS THE SAME as Lance’s ex-wife. She doesn’t understand what’s going on all she knows is that women is truly evil.
In this book you watch Karli try to figure out who her heart belongs to, deal with a crazy ex, and get her heart broken. Maria is hell bent on making Vance and Leo’s life hell and she knows the best way to do that is by going after Karli.
She’s also trying to sever the relationship between her and her maker Leo.
There is a lot of going on in this book but not so much that you can’t follow along HAPPILY!! I will admit I got mad at Karli during this one though. She is heartbroken and livid with Vance and I am a woman I get it but, forgiveness is what she needs right now, not to worry though Leo is right there to help should she need it.
I also don’t think I like Erica anymore because she is blaming Karli for something that is not her fault. This book paved the way to what I know will be an amazing next book!
