Sorry, but this was fairly terrible. I gave a whole extra star for the fact I did really enjoy the initial premise.

Despite a strong opening including a main character from Bulgaria, a really intriguing (and different) Bulgarian folk legend about witches, and a mystery, this soon devolved into a stalker love triangle cluster f*.

I couldn't take this seriously when there was such memorable lines as:
"Because...you don't even know me. I don't need to know you." His stunning eyes were ruthless. "I need to have you."

AND

"Still, there were worse things than being "stalked" or "claimed" by a guy like Rhys. And what was the American obsession with stalking anyway? We had no such word in Bulgarian-people expressed their emotions in all kinds of ways, and to pursue a woman was expected of men; it didn't automatically mean crossing criminal lines."

Sigh. I read word for word until about 1/2 way through, then just buzzed through to the ending to see if it got any better (it didn't). I wish instead this was about Thea's sister. That chick sounded pretty bad ass.
