Cassie has a whole lot going on... The vamps want to have her under their thumb, the mages want to kill her and get the power to go to one of their choosing, Myra is trying to kill Mircea, the geis is triggered and all over the place... and I haven't even mentioned the fey!

Worldbuilding:
Sooooo much happened in this instalment. We shifted to many different times (god knows how the Pythia keeps track of who and what!?) but apart from being curious where and when we ended up this time, I never felt confused or lost due to the great descriptions and information I got while reading. As always the author has great attention for details, making it much, much easier for readers to follow the story.

Character development:
Cassie didn't really have the time to think about all the implications of being the chosen heir for the Pythia, she's too busy saving herself, Mircea or her friends. That said, she rolled with the punches, learning as she went.
I had totally forgotten about Mac (this is a re-read) and his tattoos. Such a cool guy :) So it was strange to see him being friends with Pritkin, who was, for once, not trying to kill Cassie (well...ish).
While Mircea was in the picture a lot, it was mostly in the 1880s where Cassie had to save his ass from Myra, her evil co-Pythia heir. I have to say though that I liked it that he was so much like his modern self even that long ago, for me it means that he managed not to get jaded (too much) and held on to his core beliefs and principles... go Mircea! (*swoon*)

Pacing and flow:
Well, there was a lot of action, I don't even know if there was a time where Cassie and the gang couldn't just relax and take a breather (well, okay, that one time, but that doesn't count). So yes, a lot of action! Fortunately, there was a good balance between everything going on and conversations and the transitions felt smooth.

The book:
The book itself was well written with no (noticeable) errors. There is sex described (if that is important to you).
The book is 374 pages long, spread over 15 chapters and from Cassie's POV (point of view).

All in all:
I'm happy I'm re-reading this series to pick up where I left off since I just can't remember a single thing from this instalment! I loved it! :D ( )

Really liking this series ( )

Un legado reciente convirtió a Cassandra Palmer en heredera del título de pitia, la vidente más poderosa del mundo. Normalmente, el puesto se consigue después de años de entrenamiento, pero las circunstancias que rodean a Cassie son un tanto anormales. Ahora, Cassie se ve atrapada en una situación en la que dispone de una cantidad ingente de poder que los vampiros, duendes y magos de la ciudad quieren monopolizar o erradicar a toda costa… y que ella misma no se atreve a usar. Es más, Cassandra acaba de descubrir que cierto maestro vampiro un tanto arrogante le ha lanzado un hechizo mágico que advierte a cualquier posible pretendiente para que no se acerque a ella... y que podría explicar la incomprensible atracción que existe entre ellos.

Another amazing story by Karen. This second book in the series is a fantastic read, full of magic, mystery, amazing characters, great twists and turns, adventure, excitement and a whole host of other things. I love how well Karen has laid out this world for the readers, as it is so realistic you can actually imagine you are there. This exciting second instalment in the series gives you exiting new developments and leaves you hungering for more. A must read if you enjoy this genre. ( )

"4 out of 5 stars, I'm finding that this series is addicting as soon as I put one book down I had to read the next one, especially with all of the cliffhangers that end the books. This one..."
