After reading No Rest for the Wicked, I dived right into this book. Finishing it in less than a day from when I finished the previous book in the series, I had to come up for air. 
 This series is just getting more complicated and complex and sexier as it goes along. 
 This book had a lot more intrigue and mystery than the previous novels and I kind of wish that Cole would have explored the witchiness of it all more because I found it so interesting. 
 Other than that, I am not sure if I enjoyed reading NRftW better or this one.. Decide for yourself and pick them up - loved it & can't wait to jump into the next book in the series.
