I'm going to point you at J. Westfall's review because s/he said pretty much what I think about this book.

In
the beginning the poor writing, bad grammar and worse editing were not
quite as apparent. As the book wore on, it all got worse. I was pretty
much ignoring all that and was interested in the premise of the book,
which was that of a person in Witness Protection who actually had some
knowledge of paranormal creatures. It could have been really
fascinating. Then, bam! The next chapter didn't have Wrey (previously
known as Maria) and Arvon in it, but some other characters, apparently a
bunch of thugs in the Rekin, some kind of mafioso.
It was
evident to me from the first paragraph that this chapter had been
written by a completely different person; wording, pacing, even editing
were all of significantly less quality than what I'd read previously.
Aside from that, it was boring. I took to skimming those sections and
only reading the sections with Wrey and Arvon in them. By the end of
the book, the better-written sections became not noticeably different
from the thug sections in quality, and I kept forcing myself to keep
reading. Not even the sex redeemed the story.
I was disappointed
at the spot in the plot where the author(s) chose to end the book.
It's definitely not the end of the story for Wrey or Arvon.
Unfortunately for the authors, I don't give a crap. Unfortunately for
the publishing house, I didn't bother reading or skimming any of the
previews they stuck in the last 30% of the book.
This was a freebie at Amazon (not any longer) and I just can't recommend it to anyone.
