Thank you to NetGalley and Wicked House Publishing for providing a review copy.
Whew, does this book have a lot going on! There are menaces both supernatural and human, and what initially seems like several separate storylines converge in the end. I found the first half of the book a bit slow while the many threads of story being laid down, but it quickly picked up in the second half. If there's one thing Axl Malton does really, really well it's building tension, and I found myself staying up way too late to finish the book. 4 stars
