Synopsis
This is the second book in the urban fantasy-thriller series starring sexy bounty hunter and witch, Rachel Morgan. During the last few months, former bounty-hunter Rachel Morgan has been rather busy. Having escaped relatively unscathed from her corrupt former employers, she's not only acquired a vampiric room-mate called Ivy, faced werewolf assassins and battled shape-shifting demons, but has also found the time to pick up a boyfriend (even if he is only human) and open her very own runner agency. But, cohabiting with a vampire, however reformed, has its dangers. Ivy's evil vampire ex-boyfriend has decided that he wants her back, and views Rachel as a tasty side-dish. To make matters worse, Rachel's demon mark is the ultimate vamp-aphrodisiac; one that works both ways. The stakes are high, and if Rachel is to save herself and her room mate she must challenge the master vampire and confront the dark secrets she's kept hidden even from herself.
Review
I have read this book once previously, but found that on reading it again the depth of thought put into the characters was astounding. This book could stand well against crime drama books, if you were to ignore the interlanders. The author has created an alternative future that gives the reader the enough normality that you end up thinking that the Interlanders are entirely real. The lead character is a strong young woman and the interactions between her and the other characters allows for some very witty comments.
This is a fantastic follow up to her book Dead Witch Walking. With the way the books drag you in I cant wait to read the next offering in the saga of Rachel Morgan
