Synopsis
The orphaned daughter of a sorcerer and a half-demon, Savannah is a terrifyingly powerful young witch who has never been able to resist the chance to throw her magical weight around. But at 21 she knows she needs to grow up and prove to her guardians, Paige and Lucas, that she can be a responsible member of their supernatural detective agency. So she jumps at the chance to fly solo, investigating the mysterious deaths of three young women in a nearby factory town as a favour to one of the agency’s associates. At first glance, the murders look garden-variety human, but on closer inspection signs point to otherworldly stakes.
Soon Savannah is in over her head. She’s run off the road and nearly killed, haunted by a mystery stalker, and freaked out when the brother of one of the dead women is murdered when he tries to investigate the crime. To complicate things, something weird is happening to her powers. Pitted against shamans, demons, a voodoo-inflected cult and garden-variety goons, Savannah has to fight to ensure her first case isn’t her last. And she also has to ask for help, perhaps the hardest lesson she’s ever had to learn.

Encore un excellent tome pour cette série ! Savannah est enfin sur le devant de la scène et Kelley Armstrong nous offre encore un très bon thriller, une intrigue menée avec brio et des personnages à bon potentiel. La fin est particulièrement surprenante et ne donne qu'une envie : se jeter sur le tome suivant. En effet, celui-ci est en fait le 1er d'une trilogie qui conclue la série.
Tome décevant. L'histoire ne ce finit pas... il faudra lire le prochain volume pour la suite... je déteste ce genre de principe et je n'ai pas trouvé que Savannah était très attachante
