"Two months ago, I was a criminal with bulging pockets and a hollow heart. Now, the organ pounding behind my ribs is at capacity. How ironic would it be if Slate Ardoin -thief, con man, bully, orphan- went into cardiac arrest for over-caring?"

Just wonderful to get back to Brume and this dysfunctional crew in the exciting conclusion to this series!! Fun and fast-paced, it's everything you wanted- twists, turns, humor and oh ......SO MANY SPIDERS!!! The story picks up a few days after the events in Of Wicked Blood and just when things were getting back to a normal routine, Cadence makes a decision that changes everything. And it doesn't just affect the four members of the Quatrefoil crew, but everyone living in Brume, some in devastating ways. Don't want to spoil anything so can't say anything else about the twists, just that they will take you on quite the ride and include even more revelations about what led them all here to this point. Katie and Olivia bring it all home with snark, romance. laugh out loud moments and a few tears. Love this crew of characters and it's sad to have to leave Brume behind!!
