Eve Levine - half-demon, black witch and devoted mother - has been dead for three years. She has a great house, an interesting love life and can't be killed again - which comes in handy when you've made as many enemies as Eve. Yes, the afterlife isn't too bad - all she needs to do is find a way to communicate with her daughter Savannah and she'll be happy. But fate - or more exactly, the Fates - have other plans. Eve owes them a favour, and they've just called it in. An evil spirit called the Nix has escaped from hell. She feeds on chaos and death, and is very good at persuading people to kill for her. The Fates want Eve to hunt her down before she does any more damage, but the Nix is a dangerous enemy - previous hunters have been sent mad in the process. As if that's not problem enough, it turns out that the only way to stop her is with an angel's sword. And Eve's no angel...
I think I fall in love with this series the more I read it. Eve is easily one of my favourites and I'm glad she has a whole book to herself. Kristoff is also a surprisingly great character and I really love his relationship with Eve. He's the perfect partner for her. It was great to see such a powerful character struggle. Eve seems to be perfect in every way but she can't let go of the living world even though she's dead. I think this was a great story about how Eve finally accepts her death and that her daughter will be just fine without her. I could have done with the chapters in the Nix's POV but besides that this was a pretty quick read.
