I really liked this book and the character, Lily Bard. Her life and her faith were completely destroyed, so she re-built her life somewhere new and made damn sure she'd never be a victim again. Lily is a strong character who thinks logically and tends to constantly be on her guard. Harris was consistent with Lily's character through most of the book. I'm still not understanding why she suddenly jumps into bed with some guy after all the hell she's been through, but it didn't derail the plot too much.
Harris writes excellent books. I'm used to her books having underlying supernatural themes, but this one was pure non-supernatural human crime. There's a murder and the finger points at all the wrong people before it lands on the real killer. The reasoning behind the killing was brilliant. I could completely understand what could lead a person to take that action and I felt a little pity for the killer at the end of the book.
The supporting character's weren't filled out, but that really helped show Lily's life. She was a loner, living on the edge of society, while playing her part in it. There are four other books in this series and I'm going to order them right now. I really like Lily and I hope Harris is consistent in her development of Lily's character. I want to see Lily get more of her life back. I want her to have some peace.
