Back Cover:
Mina may be a powerful banshee, but she was nothing but a drug-addled prostitute when Joey rescued her from slavery. That was five years ago, and today Joey is the new head of a gang with Mina as his bodyguard. They’ve always felt a forbidden attraction for each other, but Joey is ashamed of his other self – he’s a snake-shapeshifter – and Mina doesn’t have a clue how much he truly cares. While Joey’s underlings plot a coup, Mina is shaken when her fragmented memories reveal that Joe...more

Favorite Quote:”God, he kissed like I felt, desperate and ripped raw with tension and hurt...”
Mina is a sexy hard ass banshee who welds her deadly siren voice with the skill of a assassin as an enforcer for Joey DiLuca; a snakeshifter mob boss. Mina owes everything to Joey. He saved her life as a young girl when her mother was brutally murdered and has protected her all these years.
Mina loves Joey with a passion that borders on obsession but her inability to deal with that attraction has her sta...more

Is it okay that I liked the Kane bits the most? That's me always loving the side stories.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Mina and Joey's angsty-ass romance..from the tidbits in Shadowglass to the last chapters of this book, but I think a little less angst-butter might've spread a little bit better than spoonfuls of angst-butter. Sorry for the stupid analogy but less is more some times dammit!! Just a little.

I loved this book. I picked it up at a local bookstore and I was very impressed. I am a huge Andrew Vachss fan, and the writing style had the same sharp brutality, using spare words and description to tell the story. The writing style and violence may not be to everyone's taste, but I found the writing to be above average and the story fresh. Definitely want to read more from this author.

I was not a huge fan of this book. It started out awesome. It was like a mix between tithe and Unholy Ghost. I thought , ' Hey here is an adult Fae book that will span past teen life.' I was wrong. It was too out there for me. It was all about Fae gang life. I would not recommend this book.
Both interesting and overwhelming to the writer in me. A little too repetitive for my liking. And there wasn't hell of a lot going on, but I enjoyed reading it.
Urban fantasy about the fae. Utterly beautiful in its protrayal of decay and decadence. I really enjoyed its gritty glittery feel. Strongly recommend reading.
One word that comes to mind when I read this series is... gross. Hayes is not afraid to write about bodily fluids, and not just the sexy fluids. The character in the first book of this series pukes many many times. But it's the characters that keep me reading and enjoying this series. The characters are so flawed, make such stupid mistakes, are beautifully twisted, and are just plain fun. Hayes works these characters hard before they get their happily ever after at the end. If you are looking fo...more
After an ok 1st book, a really bad 2nd book, this one was going to be a make or break book for me in this series. I only made it 40 pages in before I gave this one up. Mina wasn't very interesting, too much an robot, waiting to be told what to do. I couldn't handle getting through a boring story, this one just wasn't for me.
This one is a little too dark for me I think.
