Smoke, Vampires, and Mirrors by Anna Zaires, Dima Zales

5.0

A fitting finale

This ist he seventh and last book in the entertaining and action-packed Sasha Urban UF series. Sasha has to save the world with the help of her friends and allies by deploying her seer skills and her newly found probability abilities. Additionally, she has to contend with her crazy mom and with events that have been set into motion a long time ago. And since there are a lot of different players involved trying to manipulate the outcome she has to bring all her ingenuity to play so that she doesn’t end up killing her mentor and sweetheart Nero inadvertently (as most of her visions seem to predict) and the world isn’t annihilated by a crazy supernatural being…

I really liked Dima Zales' mixture of Urban Fantasy, nerdiness, cultural references and Russian folklore which brought me hours of mostly light-hearted entertainment interspersed with some more serious notes. I am sad to see the series end, but I was happy to discover that there will be a spin-off, focusing on Bailey Spade who is a Dreamwalker…
4 ½ stars
