I almost forgot that I needed to read another book from J.D. Robb’s In Death series this month. Thank goodness I didn’t forget, though. I love this series so much that I may end up reading more books this summer, instead of just one book a month. I need more of these books.
The fifth book in the In Death series dives into witchcraft and satanism. This is not going to be an easy case for Eve because she has to keep her previous partner, Feeney, out of the loop, and she’s also treading on dangerous ground with witches this time around. Readers will get to know the different styles of witchcraft in this book. I loved how J.D. Robb delve into the differences.
If you’ve read the previous books, you’ll notice how protective Roarke is with Eve, especially with everything she’s gone through in the last cases. He’s no different in this book. He gets more protective in this book. I love him so much for how he cares for Eve. Yes, readers will get a lot more of Roark and Eve’s relationship in this book. They can’t stop loving each other. Eve realizes how much she loves Roarke and vice versa.
From the moment I started reading this book, I knew it was going to be a good one. Although I did have suspicions on who was behind all the murders, it couldn’t be the people that Eve kept investigating, but I did like how Eve handled certain things. Although towards the end, she got herself in danger and should’ve listened.
I liked how J.D. Robb had the supporting characters play a role in this book. I loved getting to know Feeney more and also see Peabody in a different environment. She even surprised Eve and Roarke. Feeney is one character that will not like being out of the loop, and I have respect for him.
The villains in this story are awful people. I thought J.D. Robb had horrible villains in the previous books, but she proves me wrong each time.
Be prepared for some tough situations in this book that involve sacrifices, rituals, and spells. I give this book 4-stars and recommend it to Mystery, Thriller, and Romantic Suspense readers. You’ll need to read in order though of this series; otherwise, you’ll miss out. I can’t wait until June gets here now because I need the sixth book in the series. Who knows, I may end up reading 2-3 books of the series next month. We’ll see.
