The start of this book was a bit difficult and I doubted whether I would finish it.
That changed around the fifth chapter in which the pace changed,
Sybille Esmond never wanted to inherit her family’s weird business: summoning spirits of the undead and guiding them to the afterlife. While it pays the bills, dealing with supernatural monsters comes with colossal risks, including becoming undead herself.
Then Elis Tanner appears, He is an undead blood thirster with a soul and has a possessive, disembodied ex-wife, Juliana. The complications start to build, especially because her next adversary, the Blood King is extremely dangerous.
Those blood thirsters are basically vampires with an other name who die the way vampires do: a stake through the heart which will let them go up in ash. That doesn't work with the Blood King and that is a serious danger.
The book ends with an enormous cliff hanger. I was disappointed, now I have to read the other books too :)
Nice, exciting, leading persons with chemistry, substories which are good too. Read it!

I received this book for an honest review. I didn't read book one, But now I'm curious enough to want to go back and read it. This book stands alone ok, but I may have gotten more from it if I had read book 1. This story follows Sybille and her friends as they try to save the human world from a take over by the 2 fae sides that are always fighting, the Ossian and Lyssian, Bone and Blood fae. Good humor mixed in as well. I definitely enjoyed the story and the only reason I didn't give it a 5 star rating is the first few chapters were hard to read due to too many personal pronouns instead of names in the conversations. It was difficult to follow who was saying what.… (mer)
