Kara is a cop, a demon summoner and a mystery. Just when I think I've grasped the character, and the plot, Rowland shakes everything up, just like a snow globe, and I'm suddenly looking at the story from a whole new angle. The writing is excellent, detailed, consistent and with just enough description that my own imagination can click in. It's good to find an author who doesn't think her reader's are idiots, that's become too rare with all the electronic publishing. People are writing garbage and it's getting published, warts and all, in the race to have more and more books out there.
Poor Kara is dealing with deaths that have an odd link to her past in this one. Being a homicide detective you think she'd know how to hide the bodies better... of course it's not her, you can't have an evil heroine! So once again Kara calls on demons to find out the truth about her past and the past of her friends and the why of what is happening. No-one is who they seem in this series, I know, that sounds like the worst cliche and should probably be followed by the words 'this is the not to be missed episode', but for once it's true. Rowland is just that good at twisting the story until you get to the conclusion & your brain goes 'OMGWTFBBQ!'.
