Publisher's summary

Two thousand years before Cait Reagan was a twinkle in The Morrigan’s eye, Weyna played handmaid to that very same Goddess in the year leading up to the Second Battle of Maighe Tuireadh, where the Tuatha de Dannan faced the forces of Fomori in a climactic final battle. But when Weyna stuns the assembled Gods and Goddesses by taking down the greatest fighter the Óșeni have ever known using a technique she never learned, she sets in motion a series of events that will ultimately lead to the discovery a long-buried secret two millennia later.

In the present, Cait's sister, Aoife Reagan, a former member of Ireland’s Tacaíochta Faoi Arm, the Garda version of SWAT, is drawn to Boston for the funeral, only to find that it’s not going to happen. Cait died, but it didn’t take as Cait returned to the ranks of the undead somewhat posthumously. Unfortunately, Cait's soul has decided to go on walkabout, and she remains in a strange sort of stasis.

In the meantime, Liz believes something larger is at work, and she has concocted an insane plan to draw out Cait’s killer and lead them one step closer to whoever is behind him. Aoife will impersonate Cait, leading the would-be assassin to believe they’ve failed. Now she just has to convince Aoife to be the bait, impersonate a nine-year veteran of the police department, and do it while chasing down a vicious creature of myth that is running loose in Boston and could destroy half the city.

Underestimated

I had all but given up on this series. The story is coming together, and I’ve gone back to the beginning. I have high hopes for the next in the series. This narrator is always good.

Aoife's the best

I really enjoyed Aoife being in the story, she's much more calm and collected and warmed up to Cait's circle fairly quickly. She's smart and funny, so it was pleasant to hear her throughout the story. She also has a very major key role within the group and story although I'm worried about her now.
I will say though that the story is getting a bit..wild? It was hard to follow sometimes with the Weyna flashbacks and it clicks a bit further in but overall there was a lot of information thrown that was either kept or discarded completely. I feel like the story would have been a lot easier to follow if more content was added in with the characters, more day to day living and smoothing out the story a bit with added time. BUT, it was still a good read and I'm very much looking forward to the next book.

I also hope Cait's love life calms down in the next book though. She can't seem to catch a break.

freaking awesome

These books are so great! The author is incredibly creative! Abbey Craden kills it, as always! I truly love the series

where is the next one

It Took me a while to get used to the back and forth of the chapter's, It Jarred me a little. I need more of the sisters together. Abby craden Shines again, What a lovely narrator.

Great Vampire/Fantasy Story!

I’m a big fan of this series and this installment is as good or better than the earlier ones. New characters and a lot of world building, but it’s never slow or ponderous. The writing is always entertaining and interesting

Preternatural Phenomena

Fantasy is not usually my favorite genre but I have loved all three books in this series so far. The gut wrenching emotions kept me listing. Abby Craden is the best. Looking forward to book 4.

Love it

I wish Cait ended up with Marcella but maybe that’s the love conquers all trait in me lol I honestly love the series cant wait for the next book
