This is Savannah's book. I was so excited to read it, and it didn't disappoint at all. It was everything I expected from her and more! I don't want to put a spoiler warning on this, so I'll try to be careful not give too much away.

She has been working for Paige and Lucas for 5 years, and now they are away on vacation and Adam is away at a conference, and a case comes up that sounds easy and safe enough for her to investigate her first case by herself.

At this point, Savannah is 21. She has been working for Paige and Lucas for 5 years, and now they are away on vacation and Adam is away at a conference, and a case comes up that sounds easy and safe enough for her to investigate her first case by herself. She follows Jessie, who's a friend of Lucas', to a nearby town to investigate three murders of girls that seem to have a supernatural connection. While there she discovers a bunch of women living in a commune and whose leader might be a suspect, another witch married to the main suspect in the killings, one of the victims' brother who comes from Dallas to investigate and actually goes on a date with Savannah twice, a witch hunter who they thought would just be a legend, and many more adventures.

What I liked: Savannah's personality, as usual, she's straight-forward, spunky, fun, confident and just adorable. And she riders a bike! Adam's relationship with her is so cute! I loved hearing all the phone calls, the teasing, the memories of vacations they've had together and things they do for each other. And how she keeps burning his clothes with the sparks from her fingers! I liked Michael also. :(

There was a lot of action and mystery in this book! The story kept building and twisting and getting more complicated, with more possibilities as we went along.

And the greatest thing is I never would've thought the way things turned out in the end! I started suspecting, but for different reasons. Savannah has to battle with being Eve's daughter or doing the right thing. And the caring that Adam shows for her at the end *tender* He was there for her, protected her, risked his life for her, yelled at her, confronted her and didn't let her get away!

And the actual ending... Oh.My.God! I have to read the next book as soon as it comes out, and that's not soon enough, to find out what's going to happen. ...more

It had been a bit since I'd visited this world and I wasn't sure what I would think of a Savannah driven book, but it was good. Lots of twists and a cliff-hangerish ending.

Savannah finally gets to be the lead on a murder case with possible occult ties in a small town as well as a cult. Lots of twists and turns as she tracks down the leads with the help of a detective from Dallas, a PI who brought the case and Adam checking in near the end. (view spoiler) ...more

I liked it. Savannah grew on me as it went along. I wasn't particularly looking forward to her book, just a personal thing to not find a 21 year old narrator as interesting as an older one. The mystery was good and while it doesn't really end on a cliffhanger it definitely ends feeling like the story isn't finished. I'm hoping we see more of the rest of the Otherworld characters in the next two since they're the last in the seriesl ...more

I wasn't sure what to expect going into this. I didn't know if Savannah would carry the story forward. I ended up being pleasantly surprised. Savannah's grown up and found a balance between dark spells and light spells that works for her. Ends with a cliffhanger, so I'll be reading her next book. ...more
