Raven and Hester are back again, battling one of the strongest foes they've ever faced. When a new supernatural settlement is attacked—all the adults killed, the children missing—Muddy River's demon enforcer and his powerful witch mate discover an ancient evil is behind the deaths and abductions.
Murlyn, a warlock who practices the dark arts, and who isn't above using others to amplify his power, has set a devious plan in motion. One that uses gullible supernaturals and innocent children. Murlyn's thirst for power is unmatched, and unless Hester, Raven, and their band of friends can stop him, all of Muddy River and other supernatural settlements face extermination.
Once again, Judi Lynn has created a fast-paced mystery of good vs. evil. Characters I've come to love from the first two novels in this series are back, joined by a host of others who quickly make their mark. Lynn knows how to pull heartstrings while layering her plot with clues that play out like a trail of breadcrumbs. She levels each scene to ratchet the tension, all the while heightening the relationship between characters, forging emotional bonds with the reader. Consider me smitten. I love all of these characters, and the supernatural battles that ensue between good and evil more then satisfy with plenty of breathless action. Party cozy, part urban fantasy, part mystery, this book and those in the series, score gold on multiple levels. Vivid and imaginative. 5 big stars!
