After the Epilogue, we start off with some action, just so we know how tough and kick ass our leading man Quincey Morris really is, as he busts up a gang of vampires hiding out in a small town. He's a paranormal private investigator so he's called in on all sorts of calls; like a family with an ancient curse that dates back to the Salem Witch Trials.

Since Quincey isn't an expert on witch craft himself, he brings in his associate Libby Chastain to help him in the investigation. They hit several obstacles as they try to piece together the investigation. But with the unknown help from a South African Police Officer, who has been called in to help with an ongoing 'muti' murder case, the whole story starts to unfold.

It's rare that I read a book that has several points of view and am able to really dive in and enjoy each character's perspective. Justin did a really great job of this. I love having a male lead. It's nice to not read a woman's perspective once in awhile. I thought the pacing of the story and plot moved along very nicely. I never felt bored or overwhelmed by a ton of action. It was also nice to watch the two separate investigations unfold into one. I love a good mystery and I love the Urban Fantasy genre, so this was a great balance of both for me. If you love both as well, I think this is a great addition for your To Be Read pile!
