I can see the Nadia Stafford series as a tv show. It falls into the same category as a crime drama like CSI - shot mostly at night, but it also has the action of a spy thriller like Alias or La Femme Nikita. Despite this Armstrong series not being urban fantasy like her Otherworld books, I think it still has Armstrong traits - a smart heroine, a dark but not too dark storyline, plenty of action, plus some romantic elements. It's one of my favorite series out right now.

I have a lot of the same comments as with the first book as this one. The characterization stays consistent between the books. Nadia is very smart and good at what she does, but because she's "the strong silent type", she can be a bit oblivious about relationships. The love triangle I thought there were hints of in book 1 begins to take shape in book 2. But of course, Nadia being dense doesn't really see it. So this has romantic elements because of it.
