I received free copy of Hidden Blade from the author in exchange for an honest review. 
 I love Pippa's books and I love Egyptian mythology so Hidden Blade was a double treat for me. I really liked Pippa's take on Egyptian Pantheon. Her gods are lustful and vengeful, with thirst for power and domination and they rule the world from modern New York instead of ancient Egypt. 
 In Hidden Blade we meet Ace Dante, Soul Eater, demon slayer, and son of Devourer of Souls , who is hired by his ex-wife, Goddess Bastet, patroness of pregnant women, to find a murderer who has been killing her women. In addition to finding the murderer and killing demons, Ace has to survive the deadly game between Osiris, Isis and Thoth, in which everyone has their own agenda and wants Ace to do their bidding. 
 I loved Ace! He is adorable in a tortured, self-doubting, bad-ass, demon-slaying kind of way. Ace believes that there is nothing good or redeemable in his character even when other people, including Bastet, can see good in him. Pippa Dacosta is a master at creating complex and layered characters and with Ace she did just that. Also when it comes to Pippa's books the thing you know for sure is that you never know how the story will unfold and like any other of her books Hidden Blade is full of unpredictable turns, shocking twists and "WTF just happened" moments. I can't wait for the next book, Witches' Bane, and I am glad I do not have to wait very long (till August 2016)
