* Another fast-paced, wildly entertaining supernatural thriller from the author of Bitten, Stolen, and Dime Store Magic
After Paige Winterbourne is ousted as leader of the American Coven of Witches, all she wants to do is hide under her duvet for a few months. Let the supernatural world manage without her, see if she cares... But fate, of course, has other plans. A murderer is on the loose - someone with superhuman skills. When Paige learns that the killer is targeting children, she realises she has to get involved in the covert investigation.
And so Paige - desperate to protect those she loves - is thrown into a world of arrogant Cabal leaders, drunken necromancers, sulky druid gods and pretentious leather-clad vampires. Luckily, she has a female werewolf and a certain renegade sorcerer on her side...“Don't go giving all the credit to the recent Twilight phenomenon.... Long before American author Stephenie Meyer came on the scene - four years before to be precise - Canadian fantasy novelist Kelley Armstrong began paving the way with Women of the Underworld...”
Like Stephen King, . . . Armstrong not only writes interesting page-turners, she has also achieved that unlikely goal, what all writers strive for: a genre of her own. . . . This is not The Call of the Wild; it's Nora Roberts meets The Sopranos by way of Henry David Thoreau. -- THE WALRUS -- WINNIPEG FREE PRESS
