Description
An unsolved murder in the middle of downtown Sydney.
A deadly attack on the city’s Sidhe community.
Sidhe sorcerer Riann Donovan has fled a tragic past in the U.S. and established herself in Sydney, Australia, as a photojournalist. Called to work a murder scene, she learns the victim is Sidhe and finds herself on the run from a swarm of demons and Fomhoire conjurers.
She turns for help to Carrie Pelsher—new in the city, not Sidhe but possessed of a mysterious affinity for magic.
Together they are drawn into a war as old as history itself, caught between forces ancient and deadly, all of them pursuing a treasure of unimaginable power. Failure would mean armageddon; success prolongs the conflict for another day.
Our world stands poised on the edge of a blade.

I am just going to say do yourself as a reader a favor, block out a couple of hours and truly settle down with this great book.

Even though I’ve heard of this author for years, I’d never read a book by him until now. When I first started reading this, I wasn’t sure I was going to like it. However, once I was a little bit in the book, I enjoyed it quite a bit. This is a wild ride, with lots of non-stop action with Kel and Marti on the run for their lives, not sure who to trust. I really liked this, and I hope the next book stars Kel and Marti again since I’ve grown quite fond of them. A well-written, pulse-pounding thriller sure to please this author’s fans and fans of urban fantasy. Recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.

The first chapter threw me off and I worried I wasn't going to like this one. But, I kept reading. It picks up speed from there and takes you on a whirlwind adventure in the war between the Sidhe and their ancient enemies. It starts with a overlooked and emotionally shy Kelsy, who is unwittingly introduced to a world of magic and danger. She is a power source both evil and good could possess. She finds herself running with a sorcerer and trying to escape all manner of monster and god. It is pretty fast paced and exciting once you get into it. The characters have an interdependent relationship that is thrust upon them by circumstance. I found the world rich, the characters mostly compelling. The villains' are a bit one dimensional. But the main plot is well written and interesting. This is the first book by this author I have read and am certainly willing to continue this series. I received a copy of this story in exchange for an honest review.
