Red-Headed Stepchild is the first book in the Sabina Kane series. We’re introduced to, of course, Sabina Kane, who is half mage, half vampire. We’re also introduced to a hilarious demon named Giguhl, a nymph named Vinca and a hot mage named Adam. This is my first read by author Jaye Wells, and I enjoyed it. There were some very funny moments, and I have to be honest here and say that I think Giguhl, who spent a good part of this story as a bald cat, is probably my favorite character of the book. There were times I really liked Sabina, and times I didn’t. She’s not a heroine I connected to in a big way, and found myself more concerned about the outcome of the secondary characters than I did her. In fact, it took me well over ½ the book before I became interested in her at all, and to really love a story, I need more than that from my heroines. One of my favorite scenes takes place with Giguhl and Sabina, when she tries to use magic to send him back home: "Are you sure you can handle it? I mean, you've never done magic before, right?" “It seems pretty straight forward. You game?” He jumped off the couch and looked back at me. “Sure. What’s the worst that could happen?” Twenty minutes later, we had our answer. “I can’t freaking believe this!” I cringed. “I’m so sorry.” “I’m bald!” Giguhl continued. “I look like a freak.” “It’s not that bad,“ I said. But it was. Oh my lord was it bad. I’d never seen an uglier cat in my entire life. “Look at the bright side, you won’t have to worry about shedding anymore.” Urban Fantasy isn’t my favorite genre, but that said, Red-Headed Stepchild is a pretty decent beginning to a promising series. And as I mentioned before, I did end up liking this book more than I thought I would, but the world in general didn’t grab me and suck me in as I had hoped it would, and even though I did enjoy Giguhl, Vinca and Adam, I’m not sure I’ll continue on with the series. However, I have been known to change my mind :) 3.25/5
