 The Ever-After is shrinking, mostly due to the ley line Rachel tore through reality a few books ago. But it's aided in its leakage by Ku'Sox, the psychotic, created demon, who wants nothing more than to end the Ever-After--and Rachel--forever. And if Rachel can't fix the line and restore the Ever-After, not to mention stopping Ku'Sox's diabolical plan to create a race of demon-witches like her, the demons will kill her and all magic on Earth will disappear. Fixing the catastrophic mess requires trusting those Rachel has never trusted and forcing an age-old enmity to end in cooperation. 
 Writing the summary for this book was incredibly difficult because there's so much going on and so much of it is potentially spoilery. The series is winding down but also hitting some of the best material yet as Rachel begins to understand her power, the history of demonkind and elfkind, and mend relationships with people around her. 
 The stakes are higher than ever in this installment of the series, and nobody gets out of the situation unscathed, mostly due to the death of a major character, which devastates everyone who ever encountered her. I was, however, quite irked about that death because it occurs off-page, and I rarely trust character deaths that don't happen where we can see them. Rachel doesn't even see the person's body, which makes it even more unreal and hard to believe, but all the characters are clearly certain that the person in question is really quite sincerely dead, so I don't foresee a resurrection or magical return in the next couple of books. Her death was, however, the catalyst necessary to get several people off their asses and into the fight, even working together when normally such a thing wouldn't happen. 
 The end of the book, as pieces are picked up and loose ends tied together, was phenomenal, not least because of the very drunk Al, who is hilarious.
