I enjoyed reading this book, but found it was no where near the best of the Night Huntress books. In this book, we learn more about Mencheres. He is much different in this book than he has been in the past Cat & Bones books. You can definitely see the difference that Kira makes. Vlad also has a large part in this book, and is funny as ever. Cat also goes back to Tennessee and see her old team, uncle and mother (that brings more problems for Cat in more than one way).

We also see Cat interact with Marie the voodoo queen ghoul from New Orleans. Marie always seems to be putting herself exactly where see wants to be, but in a back-handed sort of way. Fabian has a very large part in this story. We learn a lot more about ghosts and what their abilities are

I would say that the story is not the best, but there is plenty of character development. I wouldn't say that this book is a "cliffhanger", but I would also say there is an incentive to pick up the next book (luckly it comes out this Fall).
