Not confusing, it's just a weak, convoluted story. Dramatic gothic horror tropes for the sake of them. Demons and summoning and sacrifices and an odd gimmick (Hebrew alphabet) that had potential but was wasted on a poorly-focused narrative. I feel like Kaori Yuki's strengths lie in self-contained stories that are part of a larger narrative, like Count Cain and Godchild, not a story like this that does not allow a break for the characters or the reader.
