Ratings and reviews

i havent read the first book of this series.. just this one bk 7 but i find the characters really into committing goodness out of all the evil that are lurking in the shadows.

Suspenseful and thrilling plot. Twin mysteries skillfully interwoven into one great read.

I loved how the book pulled me in and made me feel like I was one of the characters.
