Visit BookSleuth The mystery element presents a stunning twist, and the emotional depth of Bryce's relationships with both Hunt and Danika is incredibly moving. Fans will eagerly await the next installment. I have to say, at first I did not think I would get into this. First few chapters the modern setting with cell phones, social media, but also werewolves and faeries weirded me out. But then the plot showed up after a bit and it kept me on the hook until the very end. And oh my gosh, I am so glad I hung in because the ending was the best part, and it needed all of that build up to be so good. I even got into the world building, this strange modern fantasy with a mishmash of every fictional species you've ever heard of has me hooked. There was one big writing/character choice that really irritated me, but even as much as it bothered me I still immediately dove into the sequel because it's so suspenseful, I have to know what happens next. Bryce Quinlan had the perfect life-working hard all day and partying all night-until a demon murdered her closest friends, leaving her bereft, wounded, and alone. When the accused is behind bars but the crimes start up again, Bryce finds herself at the heart of the investigation. She'll do whatever it takes to avenge their deaths.
