I'm really glad I re-read this book for challenge because I remembered very little about it! And it definitely stood the test of time. After 8 years, my rating and feelings are exactly the same - isn't that wonderful? I always find the books written by Ilona & Gordon to be so wonderful nuanced, specially the characterization.

The Ilona Andrews team can really do no wrong, and the only reason this book is at 4 stars rather than 5 stars is that my love for it wasn't quite as great as my love for Kate Daniels is. But it has the characteristic action, tension, kick-ass heroine, romance, dreamy hero and incredible world building that the Kate Daniels series has.
