We're you worried that since this isn't about Nevada this wouldn't be as interesting? We're you worried that this wasn't going to feel connected to the first three books plot wise? We're you worried that the plot would feel contrived and uninteresting? Well you have no reason to worry. Zip, zilch, nada.

Catalina's perspective in fresh, fascinating, and a delight to follow. The family connection and characters feel as real as ever. The plot is creative and interesting. I read this in one sitting and it was a breath of fresh air. Alessandro is a welcome addition and his connection with Catalina is believable.

I don't know why I ever doubt the dynamic duo that is Ilona Andrews. You should definitely pre-order this book.

not as big a fan of the alessandro/catalina romance as the rogan/nevada romance. so ended up just fast forwarding through the one on one scenes. but im interested to see how the layers unravel as the series goes on.

Didn't feel like the balance of dark/intense and funny/cute was as good in this one as previous. Wished it had more Cornelius and Matilda. i liked runa and Ragnar but they just weren't as cute most of the time. Love Catalina and her voice, and super interested to figure out what's going on with Alessandro's backstory and magic!
