I remember starting this series and not being that impressed by it. I remember thinking that while I liked Riley and a couple of the other characters, it just wasn't spectacular but that I would give it a chance as a friend assured me the series only got better. How true that was! I think I like each book more and more which is a rarity. Usually you get this feel that the series is going downhill rather than up at a steady pace! This is a book I plan on keeping. 
 Now while the story was wonderful, in the past the "mystery" of the crimes Riley investigates have been more of a mystery while this one seemed very easy to figure out. I don't know if that was intentionally because of all the other happenings Arthur added (making Riley's life a whole lot more interesting). While it was easy to figure out who did it you still wondered why they did it. The revelation of that left a little to be desired but when you think about it most crimes are committed for some of the stupidest or craziest reasons, so it did fit. 
 As always, I loved Quinn. I think he is my favorite character next to Riley. He's a bit of a mystery but a nice hunky vampire Irish one that makes me want to know more and thankfully Riley's gotten her act together and wants more too. 
 As always, loved the supporting characters. Jack wasn't in it as much this time around but I do love the interaction between Cole and Riley and always suspected there was more there though I think I've been proven wrong on that account. Rhoan wasn't as prominent but Liander was around and I do like him.
