Jill Kismet is back, hunting demons and dealing with those who deal with evil as mercilessly as always. Teamed up with Saul Dustcircle, her Native American werecat lover, she seems to be in better shape, mentally and physically, to deal with the demands of her job.

That, however, is before prostitutes start showing up dead, eviscerated and discarded like so much garbage. Also in town is the woman responsible for the death of Jill’s mentor and lover, a woman Jill has sworn to destroy. Will she allow the woman to distract her from her real purpose – the ancient evil threatening to destroy not only Jill and Saul, but the city she has sworn to protect?

Once again, Saintcrow was written a gritty, intriguing story of the paranormal. Her characters are strong and likable, even the bad guys. It is fun, however, to see those bad guys meet their fates at Jill’s hands.

Recommendation: If you like paranormal, urban fantasy type stories and haven’t tried Saintcrow, why not? She is a master of the genre and you will, most likely, not be disappointed.
