Vicky has a lot on her shoulders and she’s not sharing the burden with anyone. The last book ended with an ultimatum from the Night Hag. She must hand over the white falcon of Hellsmoor or Kane will be one of her hellhounds every full moon for the next year. But her father’s spirit is in the falcon. Who is she supposed to sacrifice? She’s also asked to consult for the police when zombies start going nuts and killing humans. Pryce is once again stirring up trouble and the Destroyer is causing Vicky more problems by increasing her desire to slaughter as he wants her to join him.

There’s plenty going on in both actions and with Vicky’s emotions which take you along for the ride. Mab makes a trip to Boston to help Vicky deal with something she doesn’t want to accept and it will be interesting to see how that plays out in the future.

As usual, the writing is good and the story moves along at a good clip. We’re given a conclusion on a couple of things, making me believe the author is moving closer to wrapping up the series. ( )
