It's going to be hard to write a spoiler-free review, so I'm going to give it my best.

Having escaped the clutches of her mother, Violet is in the Under World now. We get to meet Lucifer and he's so much more than anyone could have expected. Violet has always wanted two things in life, family, and answers and as Violet puts it "Lucifer had wound chains around me until I stood shackled because he'd dangled the one thing I'd always wanted. Answers."

Johns has gathered everyone Violet loves in one place and given her the power she's seeking, it's almost too perfect. J asks her "How's it feel to be the fire the world dances around?", because Violet is at the center of everyone's world, Anarchy, Rebel, Harahel, Ash, even Mischief. They're all here and they're all prepared to go to war with her, for her. They all have such unique personalities and characteristics, and Johns makes sure the reader knows each of them well.

I particularly loved this book more than the others. I think Violet is finally starting to find her place in the world. Reading this, there is so much of Johns in the book, it's poignant, and there was a lot of funny elements too, such as "death smelt of tequila...?" That had me laughing out loud.

I enjoy how there is a virtual playlist throughout the book, songs that you can equate to the situation. Johns and I have similar musical tastes and I liked loading the songs up on the iPod to listen to. As music is a central part of my life, it made the scenes much more powerful. This entire series is so well-written, and it just gets better and better.
