I adore this series. There is a ton of humor and snark loaded into every book. Each book follows grad student turned vampire, Merit, in her duties as Sentinel for Cadogan House.
There is a lot going on in Chicago in this installment. Cadogan is breaking up with the GNP, rogue and affiliated vampires alike are being taken down, and the human population is becoming more and more weary of the supernatural community. There are several twists and turns in this installment. But my favorite part is Merit's rekindling of her friendship with her former roommate turned sorceress, Mallory Carmichael.
When she and Ethan inevitably have some issues, she has a nice dose of girl talk with Mal. It felt... right. Mallory has a lot of atoning to do, but she's working toward some sort of recovery. I like that Ms. Neill has some sort of redemption for this character. I was so afraid she'd go the way good girls gone bad and we would never hear from her again after she nearly destroyed Chicago a few books ago. I don't know about you, but in my opinion, too many strong female lead characters are left without a strong female relationship/friendship. They may depend on their man, but a true friendship that feels natural/organic is lacking.
If you haven't already, go pick up this book. It's one of my favorite series. You'll need to start at book one or most of the book won't make sense.
Favorite Part:
We find out about the animal Jeff shifts into.
Least Favorite Part:
stupid fairies and Lacey showing up.
I give this a big ol A
