[Updates: February 2016, the author emailed me to let me know that he has re-edited the book to eliminate the earlier errors. And more good news, Eveline 4 is expected October 2017.]
This continues the story from "Evelina: "Love you to Death"" and "Evelina 2: "We all die Alone"", so read read them first.
The daughter is a totally sheltered innocent who shows signs of perhaps sharing her mother's ability to live on the emotions of others.
The version of the book I read was downloaded to my Kindle in October 2016. The plot remains very intriguing and the characters continue to be well developed. However, the version of the book I read could use another pass of editing. Maybe every 10 pages or so I'd see where a spell checker had probably corrected a spelling using the wrong word. I could still tell from the context what was meant, it was good enough for 4 stars, but I can't give 5 stars because of that. [Errors fixed now.]
Hopefully sometime before the end of 2016 the author will give the book another pass of editing and then get on with the fourth book.
The plot and characters are compelling, so I am waiting eagerly for the fourth book to be added to the series.
(This a book or novel in length, longer than a novella.)
There are three books in the series so far:
Evelina 1: "Love you to Death" -- 5 stars
Evelina 2: "We all die Alone" -- 5 stars
Evelina 3: "First Kill" -- 5 stars
Evelina 4: under development
I recommend this series to readers over age 16.

Review copy given by author in exchange of a candid review.
'You will sing my name.'
It's the third installment already? Sorry, I didn't really pay attention because I was completely immersed in the swimming pool of Evelina, Richard, Susan, and the others. If you don't remember the name of this book, you had better be prepared to lie in the hospital bed.
'You got a demon in there?'
The story continues where it was left in the previous book. Susan is possessed by bad Boss Bellini; Richard Africa; Evelina in India; and Cairo, with her father dead, wandering amongst the ghosts of Malta. Once again, the story was well developed, and characters oriented to the situation they are in.
'From the fall of a sparrow, in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?'
I really like this book. It was very much like the previous books, but frankly speaking, a little mundane from the first. The first was certainly my favourite. Also, I am trying not to comment on the cursing, since the author did warn me about it prior to offering it. I love the quotes in this. The dialogues are really intriguing, and the characters - what can I say?! The tension in the plot is just amazing! So give me one valid reason to hate the book.
