wow..way better than the first book in the series. I can't wait for the next one and I hope there is more Dory and Louis-Cesare!
Helpful Score: 2
Another great book by Chance. I love her fast-paced writing where the action never stops. And Dory is great heroine - strong but yet flawed and almost human. There were a couple chapters I skimmed over where I felt they didn't add to the story, but all in all an exciting story... and more (near) sex scenes than any of her other books. I give this a very solid four stars.

I unreservedly loved this book- it hit all the right notes with me. The character was irreverent and feisty, Mircea and her new "partner" were mysterious and sexy, and there was a lot of action. Recommended to anyone who likes urban fantasy.

This is the second time I tried to read this book. The first time I couldn't get into it for some reason. This time I couldn't put it down.
I like the random humor and all the characters. I wish there were cameos of Cassie from Chance's other series and wanted to see more of Claire. I loved the addition of Ray and it was nice to finally meet Christine. The action was great with a bit of romance here and there, love the who-did-it mystery element. I think Chance does have a tendency to get too detailed and I did skim read some areas. There were a few scenes that took you a bit longer to get unless you have read the other series (like the races), but overall it could be a stand alone series.
As for the relationships in Dory's life, I liked that things moved forward with her father and Louis-Cesare. In regards to her father, it makes it easier to trust and like him in the Cassie series after reading this book.
It was a fun book. I look forward to another Dorina adventure.
