My Review:
Ceremony in Death is the fifth installment in the "In Death" series and thus continues the saga of Eve and Roarke. In this story, Eve's friend in law enforcement has been murdered, and when it involved the occult, it only makes Eve even more determined to find out who is behind the murders. But then her life is put on the line and Roarke takes guarding her very seriously. This was quite an interesting story and I really had a blast with this one and even though it wasn't quite perfect, the mystery based plot is what made this one so great. The issues that I ended up having was with Eve. I know she needs to be this tough law enforcement officer, but at the same time she is too ruthless in this book. Probably the most ruthless I have ever seen. I would have liked to see her have more vulnerabilities. I am hoping that we see more of that as I explore more of these books in this one here.
Overall I had a good time with this one, and the plot kept me on edge the whole time and the occult theme was so fascinating.
