This series has my favorite female urban fantasy character. Diana Rowland does a great job developing Angel's character. 
 Angel Crawford has really come into her own in this book. I love how her character is maturing through each book. A lot of urban fantasy (a lot of fiction, actually) has a character who doesn't move much beyond the starting point, psychologically. But Angel is tired of being called a loser. She doesn't want to live in a house with a driveway paved in beer cans. She can't get high anymore because of her new zombie nature, which really solved a lot of her problems. But now she's looking toward the future and she wants to learn things and improve herself. She is sticking up for herself when someone puts her down, which is a huge improvement over the first book. And my favorite thing- she values herself enough that she can tell Marcus to back off when he tries to control her. 
 The plot was great and there were quite a few twists and turns along the way. I don't want to give anything away, so I'll just say that this one stood up to all my expectations. I read through the night because I couldn't put it down.
