But when an old friend of Bria’s is threatened by a powerful vampire with deadly elemental magic, it looks like I’ll have to dig my silverstone knives out of my suitcase after all.

"Gin Blanco is one of my favorite characters. I loved her in this book. I wasn't sure what would unfold for her now that her life long goal has been fulfilled. But I loved this one. I loved the idea behind Gin taking a vacation and trying to enjoy herself after the fallout of the death of Mab. The change of scenery worked really well for this stage of the series to break up the previous plot to slide into a new one.<br/><br/>I have to say it, I love Owen. A lot. I think he's great for Gin. But, I was also happy to see the reappearance of Detective Caine. There are unresolved feelings when it comes to the man who walked away from Gin and not only was I hooked to the main story of Gin trying to help out a new friend, but also to the storyline between Gin and Donovan.<br/><br/>This was fast paced and exciting. It kept me glued to my book until the very last word. Very imaginative series that is definitely worth picking up and reading. Jennifer Estep has a talent for weaving great stories with great characters."
