This is not a review. More of a recap for the when the next installment comes out and I can't remember what happened in the first book. THERE WILL BE SPOILERS!!










Kayla is a former detective. Once the magicfall hit she was transformed into a water dragon and had to leave the force because every time she gets wet she changes into said water dragon. Ray is her former partner whom she has not seen for 4 years. When she quit the force he said things that just reinforced her idea that witches/supernatural beings couldn't be part of the human world any longer. Add to that the witch wars happened shortly thereafter.

They meet again at the scene of a murder of sups. He is then called of look into the kidnapping of wealthy women who turn out to be Kayla's grandmother and aunt. It's all tied together. We also learn that Ray also turned into a witch during the fall and has kept it hidden. While it turns out Kayla is actually divine...part of the egyptian god Sobek.

Kayla is the heart of Portland. Because of her the city and the residents thrive. At the end she takes in an Olmec Goddess who was the reason for all the serial killing.
