After being accused of witchcraft and burned at the stake, Susannah makes a deal with a demon for immortality. After she kills the skank who accused her, she begins her life of servitude to Rabishu. After 263 years of killing, Susannah discovers a loophole in her demon contract. In order to escape eternal torture by Rabishu, she must save a life for each that she has taken. As a mortal, this becomes a real issue since is she dies before she's achieved the balance, she will still be Rabishu's play thing. Kind of a catch-22 but worth the effort in Susannah's eyes and to her soul.

Maliha (as she calls herself in this century) is part James Bond, part Indiana Jones, part Karate Kid. This sounds like it would be a great book but after the well-paced and exciting beginning, the story drags on and on about the death of two computer hackers and two technology companies. If she's supposed to be saving lives, what is she doing chasing down dead people? I just couldn't find the connection and it was just plain boring besides. I had to force myself to finish this book as it wasn't anything like I expected. Though I must admit that I almost want to find out how Jack got inside her safe house but not enough to suffer through another installment.
