This is the third book in the Larten Crepsley saga and I personally really enjoyed it! After the rather dull and disappointing previous book, I debated on whether or not I should continue with this series. However, my to-read list had run dry so I decided to give it a go.

I am completely happy that I did! After a short lapse with the second book, this saga has got right back on track! With a great balance of action and romance, Shan has got this covered.

You discover the origins of previous characters and Larten develops. You hear more of Desmond Tiny who has to be my favourite character. Very smooth plotline with adventure and strong emotions running high. I wouldn't say it ended on a cliffhanger but I would say that it definitely makes me want to read the next one!

With a improved plotline and ever mysterious characters I recommend this saga to lovers of action, mystery and romance.
