Yet again Kim Harrison brings an action filled book that really makes you want to know what happens next (I happen to love Jenks). However, I think I have finally put my finger on what irritates me about the writing - a lack of follow up on details. At one point, someone attacks Jenks and he is passed out, maybe dead.

I really liked this latest book and this remains one of my top series. There's some good foreshadowing of the short lifespan of pixies, and the heroine doesn't seem to be blooming powers with every other chapter.

Okay, so sometimes the sentence structure got to me. No matter. Kim writes with excellent concrete details that put you right into the story and get you believing in the Vamps, Weres, and Pixies.

Rachel needs to do a little more growing and developing. The hint of more powers is not enough.

I enjoyed it but not as much as the rest of the series.
