I have to admit I wasn't wowed by this instalment, even as a long-time Otherworld (and Savannah) fan. I get the feeling we're heading towards a big-bang climax to the series (with the final book out in 2012), and this had the "middle-book-trilogy" feel to it for me. None of the plot threads were really resolved in this book, though action-wise, my heart was speeding up towards the end.

I found it hard to empathise with Savannah - I'm not sure why, it certainly wasn't that she was "immature", as was constantly emphasised in the book. I have to say I didn't really view her as being that, just more of someone who has strong powers and relies on them, as you would expect! I did like seeing more of the Cabals - I find them a fascinating construct - and also Savannah's "other" family in this book.

So not a keeper, but I have to say I'm looking forward to seeing how Kelley Armstrong wraps up this series with the next and final book, Thirteen, because I have a feeling she was setting things up for this.
