Listened to audio narrated by Cassandra Campbell. This story is focused on Camille, while trying to save Chase, Camille is kidnapped, abused and raped. A lot of different things pulling on Camille and her friends. Dealing with the emotional fallout from things that happened in the previous book as well as this new trauma, also new bad guys introduced. Very graphic, some things resolved, while leaving many open story threads.

Out of the four Camille stories in the series so far, this is my favorite. Camille didn't come off as a bimbo as she has previously. Good plot an overall storyline. ( )

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Camille's books always come out as the strongest of the set.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Yasmine Galenorn, she writes a unique type of urban fantasy, very pagan, full of magic and all sorts of different paranormal creatures. The story in each book follows three half-fae/half-human sisters who along with their friends and family battle a demon who tries to collect seven seals which protect the Earth, and open it to demon invasion and ultimate destruction.

Camille is the eldest and weakest of three sisters. She is a witch and relies on her unstable magical talents and steely will to do what needs to be done. As a consequence she seems to be suffering the most through the series.

This time Hyto, a psychotic father of her dragon-husband Smoky (she has three!) kidnaps her and tortures the hell out of her to get to his son and kill him. It's a very difficult and painful journey of a woman who refuses to be broken, who finds strength in her anger in order to defeat her enemy and the enemy of her loved ones.

Very little in this book is about the war with the demons, it deals with Hyto once and for all, but don't worry, the action doesn't become boring or stilted because of that.

I adore Camille, she is a testament to all women and their inner strength, and I think she will stay one of my favourite UF characters for a long time to come.

Recommended for the fans of fantasy, Dark Swan series by Richelle Mead and Meredith Gentry series by Laurell K.Hamilton. ( )

Perhaps it is because I read the Otherworld series out of order, and started in the middle, but I couldn't really get into the characters. Each book is from one POV, but the one POV is one of three sisters. The books are a light read for entertainment, but they didn't draw me in enough to not be able to put them down and walk away for over a week. They were okay for one read, but not to stay on my shelf. ( )

I love this series so much. I love the sisters and how well they work together. Camille is the oldest sister and she keeps the whole family together and strong. Things are really looking up for Camille in this book with her triad of husbands. This book is jammed pack full of love and hard work and sister love. ( )

Book description
We're the D'Artigo sisters: sexy, savvy ex-operatives for the Otherworld Intelligence Agency. But being half-human, half-Fae means our powers go haywire at all the wrong times. My sister Delilah is a Death Maiden and werecat who belongs to the Autumn Lord. My sister Menolly is a vampire who's dating a gorgeous werepuma, and the godfather of the undead-set. And me? I'm Camille, Priestess of the Moon Mother, married to a dragon, a youkai, and a Svartan. But my dragon father-in-law has decided that he doesn't like having me for a member of the family....

It's Winter Solstice, and Aeval welcomes me into her Court of Darkness. With Morio still dangerously weak from his injuries and Vanzir alive only thanks to my silence, the thought of training under Morgaine doesn't seem as daunting as it did. But then, Hyto returns to shatter my life. Captured and swept off to the Dragon Reaches, can I manage to stay alive long enough to escape?
