A little slow for me & I didn’t love it as much as I did the first 2. Still looking forward to book 4.
Relatable characters in an interesting world coming to life due to engaging writing made this a total page-turner.
Neill drops you into the Zone and Claire's life at top speed and things just get more frantic by the page. It made for a rapid pace that works perfectly with the plot.
Extra props go to Neill for managing to write an ending that both wraps up all loose ends and acts as a fantastic cliffhanger.
Mandatory note: I got my copy from GoodReads' First Reads.

A bit hard to get into at first but moved quickly after a while. The end felt abrupt and now we have to wait for more.
I do love a good paranormal. I totally loved Claire. She reminded me a lot of a magic-wielding Katness, with her will to survive. I loved following her as she searched for Liam. Her story was powerful and raw, keeping me enticed through the whole book. I wish there was a little more description of the surroundings, but I'm guessing that came in the two previous books (That I'm totally going to read). Loved this book.
Received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review.

Liam is framed for murder, Claire's mommy is mean, and the team must investigate both things. As with most mysteries, the obligatory dual plots must interleave. While I enjoy the growth of the characters and their relationships, the mommy thing just seems too trite. It almost dropped the rating to 3 stars but I decided not to do it.
This was another fantastic read, and I'm so excited to see how things are going to come to a close!

I am a huge fan of Neill and when my beloved Chicagoland Vampires ended this year, I decided to delve into her latest series, The Devi’s Isle. Set in the city of New Orleans, I once again found myself invested in another magical world. After the looming cliffhanger from The Sight, I’ve been wondering all summer, what would happen with Liam and Claire?
Because even though I knew why he’d gone, it still hurt to be left behind.
The beginning is somewhat slow and the focus is mainly on Claire and the aftermath of the second installment. Despite the timing, I enjoyed Claire’s moments with Moses and Quinn. There is also more mystery and intrigue that I had expected, but the change was welcomed. The later half of the book delivers the fast paced, action packed scenes I have come to expect from this series.
“You should always be grateful I’m reckless. It’s one of my better qualities.”
I am thankful the Liam issue is resolved in a timely manner and does not linger throughout the entire book. There is an introduction of new characters without infringing on those I’ve already come to adore. I would love to see a novella on Quinn; he is my favorite minor character. The ending had me reeling and sets the stage for an explosive fourth book.
I recommend this series to any PNR/urban fantasy fan. It contains all the elements desired in a series; a strong and fierce heroine, a brooding but lovable hero, and a strong supporting cast set in an interesting world. I can’t wait for the next installment.
