2.5 stars. buddy read

Maxima is a rogue witch that owns a tattoo shop. When a young pregnant woman and her boyfriend come in for an appointment, she realizes there is something wrong. Can Maxima help this girl get out of an abusive relationship or will she have to die (again) trying?

I really wanted to like this book, but the story was too short to get attached to the characters and their backgrounds. I feel like this is a spin-off from another series, so as a newbie in the Ethereal universe there is a lot left to be desired. To be completely honest the first half was terrible, but the second half came close to being redeemed but fell flat.
