THE CONTINUING ADVENTURES OF THE SMART, SEXY -- SUPERNATURAL -- WOMEN OF THE OTHERWORLDEve Levine -- half-demon, black witch and devoted mother -- has been dead for three years. She has a great house, an interesting love life and can't be killed again -- which comes in handy when you've made as many enemies as Eve. Yes, the afterlife isn't too bad -- all she needs to do is find a way to communicate with her daughter, Savannah, and she'll be happy.But fate -- or more exactly, the Fates -- have other plans. Eve owes them a favor, and they've just called it in. An evil spirit called the Nix has escaped from hell. She feeds on chaos and death, and is very good at persuading people to kill for her. The Fates want Eve to hunt her down before she does any more damage, but the Nix is a dangerous enemy -- previous hunters have been driven insane in the process. As if that's not problem enough, the only way to stop her is with an angel's sword. And Eve is no angel. . . .From the Paperback edition.

I love the world of this series and the characters but the plot for this book was very erratic. I'm hoping we're taking a break from Eve in the next book if this is what her books are going to be like.
When I first read this book years ago I rated this a 5 out of 5. This time around I feel like it's only a 3 star. I loved Eve's personality and learning more about her. When the other characters mention her in future stories at least I will know who exactly they are talking about. Something I don't understand though is how the head of the Cabals are all turning out to be decent caring men who make bad choices. Cabals are like the mob, and I feel like the CEOs should be more arrogant and sketchy than they are turning out to be. As for the plot, it skipped around...a lot. Some parts were slow and there seemed to be extra fluff that could have been cut out, then there were parts like the last fifty page that kept me on the edge of my seat. I applaud Armstrong for trying to cover a difficult realm in her world, but there were some inconsistencies that confused me. Some examples would be how magic worked in different areas of the ghost world vs the real world, not to mention Eve's jaunt in one of the hell dimensions which apparently made her out to be bionic woman.
