A good sequel to Dead Witch Walking. I missed Ivy within this book, I liked her as a character in the first book, and her diminished role in this one was unexpected. I am looking forward to the next book in this series. ( )

I liked this book more than the first one. The world is starting to shape up a bit more, and I am enjoying the characters more. I especially am intrigued by Kisten. He is a character you just can't figure out yet. Is he good... or is he bad... but in a good way I like the direction of Trent. I love Jenks. I felt Ivy was better in this book. I am beginning to understand her character more. Rachel wasn't as annoying in this book. Nick, however irritates me. I liked Captain Edden and Glenn. ( )

This unusually strong urban fantasy benefits from intricately detailed world-building and intriguing characters. Moments of wry humor lighten a chilling, tightly plotted mystery as Rachel draws closer to uncovering a brutal killer and in the process uncovers secrets in her past.

Superficially Rachel is a type found in many contemporary mysteries: a sexy, smart-mouthed heroine with an endearing tendency to shoot herself in the foot. With restrained character-driven scenes offset by moments of pulse-pounding action, Harrison is able to move Rachel somewhat beyond the stereotype.

The first in this series that I have read and I will probably read more, but I like Kitty and Mercy and their problems a bit better than Rachel.

Another solid installment in the series. Perfect reading for the beach or a lazy Sunday afternoon. ( )
