This is the 3rd book in the series and continues nicely from Red-Headed Step Child and The Mage in Black.

Not only must Sabina, Adam and Giguhul find Maisie and battle Sabina and Maisie's Vampire Bitch Domina Grandmother Lavinia but unite the Dark Races, stop Cain from coming to Earth and go against some secret fraternities.

The story is jam-packed with ass kicking, frustrating dead-end leads and some existential soul searching. Sabina grows in this books as well as her relationship with Team Awesome. I didn't get annoyed with Sabina trying to deal with get emotional baggage and it wraps nicely though not the story arch (yey!)

I love the Brooks/PW character and cheered when Mac got a bitch-slap (pardon the pun).

As this is the 3rd book in a series of 5 there are still many a loose end an it will leave you wanting more.
