Of the four (so far) in the series, this one started out as my least favorite. But I enjoyed it still as the characters were familiar and as it went on the story grew on me, and then the last 20% of the book really takes a interesting diversion and sets up what I hope is another book in the near future.
The best book in the series! Well-thought story that gives you nice punch in the gut. Will read again!
Shane's constant anxiety and guilt really spoke to me even if I didn't love the salt machine plot.The demon hunting stuff was also intriguing and I really liked the way it turned out. I really hope that the next book - is there one?! - is about Judith because girl what are you doing?!
Kingfisher's new book is like the part in Dragon Age Inquisition where you sneak around at a party in a castle, but hornier, bloodier and funnier.
