I received a free digital copy from the author/publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest feedback.

When Lissa's grandmother dies unexpectantly, she is suddenly thrown into the role of resident witch among the Russian community in her Canadian neighborhood. As a koldun'ia, Lissa makes special eggs every new moon on request - for fertility, for pain, for sleep, etc. When her stepsister shows up, Lissa has to try and hide her other life while also dealing with the arrival of Maksim, a man who is long-living and cursed with a violent nature - and he needs her to help him.

This seemed to have a great premise, not to mention a beautiful cover but ultimately it was a big fat disappointment. The story started off very clunky for me, the writing seemed sharp but not in a good way and I felt like it was trying too hard to be a bit edgy and gritty. Lissa, Maksim and Nick - a human infected by Maksim- all have their own POV's in the book but each one is always very short and I felt like I never got the chance to really feel the character and by the time i was grasping on to them, it had moved on to the next person. I ended up having no connection to any of the characters. Lissa was really boring and uptight and never seemed happy about anything ever!

Nothing actually happened either. A majority of the book was Maksim and Gus hitting each other and Lissa making eggs. The best way to describe the 'kin' who are made up of Maksim, Gus and Nick - are non-green The Incredible Hulks. They just get very angry and seem to want to fight all the time and basically don't live every good lives from the looks of it.

This book just bored me. I kept waiting for something exciting to happen and it just didn't.
