I really loved this book. Sorcha is a terrific heroine though she definitely has her faults. Merrick is a very powerful Deacon but still an anomaly. But the Pretender was my favorite character. I can't wait to see where the next story takes him. This book isn't listed as a series starter but with the terrible cliff hanger ending, I must assume there is at least another book coming.
The world building is very intense and loosely based on a religious system: priory, lay brother, deacon, abbot, matins, rectory, etc which seems Catholic to me and then there are the Presbyterial council and Episcopal inquiries. The story wasn't religious in nature but it did focus on good versus evil in regards to ghosts from the Otherside. These are evil geists who are brutally viscous murderers. The danger is real and the bond between Sorcha and Merrick is all that saves them from the betrayal of their own.
