Burning Water by Mercedes Lackey

4.0

Occult meets real life crime solving...and it worked! A great mesh of the supernatural witchcraft and good old fashioned detective foot work creates an intriguing and captivating story. Diana is an "average" girl that just happens to be a witch. While her witchcraft plays an important role in helping to track down a murderous cult, she would not have been able to do it by those means alone. With an ending that at first leaves you a bit upset, Mercedes Lackey ties everything up quite neatly and satisfactorily in the last few pages without giving the reader a rushed feeling.

While some of the occult references aren't quite accurate to historical accounts, the story is written in a way that makes it easy to forgive and accept the slight inaccuracies.
