Welcome to Litsy!

A much stronger book than the previous installment, this finds Paige collaborating on an investigation with Lucas and a “small army of supernaturals.” I didn‘t remember much but felt they were a little slow to pick up on some pretty obvious clues. Someone is killing Cabal children, starting with “the help” and working up the ladder. This was Feb‘s #roll100 #90 and it‘s done, if a bit late.

This book is set in October 2001, and has several references to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, especially the effect on air travel. And then this reference to Bush‘s election courtesy of Florida. As someone who remembers all of this (I was in college at the time; the attacks actually occurred the day after my 20 birthday) it works for me, but I have to wonder if it ages the book for other readers.

“While his three eldest sons spent their adult lives toiling to improve the family fortunes, who had Benicio named as his heir? The illegitimate youngest son who had devoted his adult life to destroying the family business, or at least buggering it up real good...Either the man is a mastermind of family manipulation or just plain fucked in the head. I don't use that word much, but in some cases, nothing else fits.” #fortune #QuotsyJan19

These are the only books in my collection I could find showing #TheBacksOfWomen #MarchIntoReading

A solid addition to the series, which I think is a must-read for supernatural (genre) fans. I love that while we were introduced to a couple of new characters, for the most part, this book just works on developing relationships between characters we already know (eg Paige and Lucas!). I genuinely enjoyed every minute of reading this.

I finally got the time today to sit down and finish this book. I love following these characters through the supernatural world. I really liked this book in particular because it had a lot of characters mentioned in previous books.
