This was a much “smaller” story in that it mostly takes place in one location with just the two main characters, so it’s not quite as exciting as the previous books. I thought having a ghost character was really interesting though, especially to pair with Conrad who is so unstable and violent.

I really liked the scene where they flirt and get intimate without actually touching.  Conrad is so awful at the beginning that I found it hard to root for him, but he did mostly redeem himself in the end.

As always, Nix brings the comic relief :)
