I love Kelley Armstrong’s women of the otherworld series. Kelley has always said her passion lies with thrillers but as that’s not my style usually I wasn’t sure about this book. I was wrong! There’s bad and good thrillers and this is a good one, enough brooding and mystery to make it believable but pull you in. You’re left satisfied but wanting more. 

You can read as a stand-alone or follow the series to get your questions answered.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Toxic friendship and Xenophobia

Moderate: Kidnapping and Death

Minor: Sexism, Sexual content, and Sexual violence

I think Kelley handles all difficult topics with grace and never goes into graphic detail unless it’s necessary. The only thing to be aware of is how good she is at evoking emotions.

Although her consensual sex scenes can get spicy but they’re not overdone

Another great book from Kelley Armstrong! I've loved her fantasy books and decided to try this one, even though I'm not usually into mysteries. I'm so glad I did! Read this book if you are a big fan of Kelley Armstrong! You won't regret it!
