4.75. Patricia Briggs was right about this book.
Wow. This book was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. I guess, maybe due to the cover, I was expecting your average UF/PR book and you know what - I was wrong. You can't really judge a book by it's awesome cover.
Dead, resurrected and on a mission that she can't figure out, Evy Stone is not in a very good mood. Her friends are dead, her allies are enemies and the only person she can trust is the one that brought her back. Through a web of lies, through hell and back, Evy Stone will not go quietly into that good night.
The plot was abnormal and interesting and I for one didn't see how the final fight would end. Never did I think that there would be more tricks up the sleeve of Ms. Meding that would keep the action going, the emotions raw and Evy Stone interesting.
The relationships are real (if sometimes a little 'too much talky') and the monsters are definitely something to be afraid of and the alliances are shaky at best. This is definitely a mystery and with the time frame of 3 days (a magical number unto itself) the book stretches out the mystery in a plausible manner that doesn't leave the reader going 'really, has this not ended yet?".
You are rooting for Evy and Wyatt, sad for Alex, you wonder about Rufus and you can't wait to see what happens in the next book for the side characters. Is this war that was rumored to occur -real? Was something else unleashed when the "bad" was killed?
Who knows? I, like Evy, am very content with taking this one step at a time and enjoying each installment as if it were the last.
