This book was just fine. I don't think I can say that I loved it, but I will say that it was entertaining enough to be sufficient as an audiobook during my commutes. It felt like a decent story that is ultimately forgettable.
Emma is pushed in head-first into the supernatural world, and she (reasonably) teeters a bit, trying to find her way. She's not my favorite main character, and I even found her annoying at times. Some of that was more due to her circumstances that were annoying than her.
This book was essentially a detective novel within a urban fantasy setting. I haven't read a book this solidly in the detective genre in a while, so this was a bit refreshing for me. I would probably consider listening to the next book in the series.

Wie bereits von der Autorin gewohnt, bekommt man auch hier eine locker leichte Geschichte. Leider fehlen aber wie immer die Details. Helen Harper beschreibt ihre Charaktere und Welten für meinen Geschmack viel zu schlecht. Ich weiß oft nicht einmal, wie die Protagonisten aussehen. Trotzdem sind ihre Bücher immer unterhaltsam. Eigentlich haben alle ihre Reihen großes Potenzial. Überzeugen konnte mich aber noch keine davon. Ich fürchte, dass sich das bei der "Firebrand" Reihe auch nicht ändern wird. Für zwischendurch kann ich euch die Geschichte aber echt empfehlen.
Das Cover ist schön, es spoilert aber auch. Aber gut, eigentlich ist es auch total offensichtlich, um was es geht. Das hat die Autorin auch schlecht umgesetzt. Es wird jedem spätestens nach der Hälfte des Buches klar sein.

Strong start, Emma's position and the world was quickly established and then the devastating event of her murder and resurrection was compelling and kept me reading. The mystery was well done and I enjoyed the interactions with Lukas, looking forward to seeing how the relationship evolves in the next book. My one gripe is that the final big reveal... didn't make a huge amount of sense? And if you follow the logic presented in the book, it's not a great reflection on Emma for failing to spot a psychopath in her midst. However, I still enjoyed the book and I will definitely be reading book two.
