Critic reviews

“An interesting cross between a murder mystery, romance, and fantasy…There are enough twists and turns in the plot to keep most readers’ interest.”—VOYA

“Patricia Briggs proves herself a rare talent as she devises a clever mystery with appealing characters in a fantasy setting…topnotch reading fare.”—RT Book Reviews

A fantastical mystery at its best

A nice addition to the series with an excellent mystery mixed in. It's one of Patricia Brigg's earlier works and it shows in some parts, but it's one of my favorite authors and an excellent book overall.

Demons indeed

The story is complex but gripping. You don't want to stop - just keep going. Lots of twists and turns to keep the reader interested. If you like mythology and romance, this read is for you.

Great story and storyteller (voice talent)

The story is very interesting. I love Patricia Briggs’ storytelling and world building. Great characters!

Criminally Exquisite

This book could easily be the best in this series; a stand alone. It is criminal in the way its characters distract, manipulate, and cajole… A total joy to read; I couldn’t put it down for fear of losing something!

Highly recommend for every reader, of all ages!

The best of this series

I really do believe that this is the best book of this series. Conqueror vs defeated. Good vs. evil, prejudism vs. love. Truly excellent work by Patricia Briggs.
