Ahh super frustrating ending.
That was a cliffhanged to be fair. But the next book is the last in this series so it will all end there.
I wish there was a bit more action they spent most of the time getting caught!

I always find Linsey Hall's books to be intriguing and enjoyable. Every now and then, one is particularly good, but I always know I'm going to enjoy the book. Some stand out more than others, but in general, they are fun quick reads. I prefer her Shadow Guild and later works to these series, but they are still enjoyable.

Wild ride
There is always something crazy going down in this series. Such a wild ride. Wondering how Del is going to fix this issue.

This entry into the series is very consistent with the rest in terms of quality and content. The small romance subplot is PG-rated and enjoyable, and Roarke and Del do have some chemistry. The fight scenes kick ass, although I still don’t understand why no one uses guns. There’s plenty of danger, tension, and adventure; people get caught, hurt, cursed, and so forth. There are always more demons to fight! Money is no object as the love interests are super-wealthy. Also, it’s now Del’s turn to worry about getting addicted to stealing powers.
As usual there are a couple of inconsistencies. If Nix can conjure acid bombs, which she does during a fight in this book, why has she never conjured potions before? And why are acid bombs doable but not other potions? I also still can’t get a handle on Del’s ability to haul the past into the present. Apparently she actually risks changing history, which is not a good position to put yourself in unless you are the most finicky, nit-picking author ever, because otherwise you’re likely to screw yourself over. I’m still not clear on whether the intersection between the past and present clears itself after Del leaves, or not. I’ve seen scenes in these books that seem to give conflicting answers to this.
I’m enjoying this series and I definitely want to find out what happens next. But if the inconsistencies I’ve noted will bother you, or you prefer your urban fantasy a little less formulaic, you might not be as interested.
Consider my rating a 3.5
