This is my favorite book of the series so far. My favorite side character from A Whisper in the Dark has officially been promoted to being a main character, and some things I’ve been hoping would happen finally did. The character interactions fleshed out the story around the mysteries—yep, plural—Charlie is investigating. I can’t say more without giving spoilers.

There is definitely at least 1 twist I didn’t see coming (which is rare, and always enjoyable as a reader), and I am very impatient for Charlie to get deeper into her investigations (with a certain vampire at her side).

That being said, I think for the first time ever, the cliffhanger for this book didn’t immediately launch me into the final volume (for now) of the Charlie Travesty serial: [b:A Sacrifice in the Smoke|53213730|A Sacrifice in the Smoke (Charlie Travesty, #4)|Jessi Elliott|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1587355710l/53213730._SY75_.jpg|80494986], but I’m still very excited for it.
