Portia Harding’s education as a physicist left her skeptical of all things supernatural, which made her a natural companion for her friend who loves to investigate spooky houses and visit graveyards looking for ghosts. Even when an ethereal virtue passes her powers to Portia, she remains an unbeliever. That is until she runs into Theondre North. Theo isn’t merely the handsome man he appears to be, he’s also immortal. When the Court of Devine Blood tests Portia’s new powers, Theo stands by her side while she undergoes the trials to demonstrate her ability to become a virtue. Then after a brief encounter with the devil himself, Theo finds himself without a soul and needing blood for sustenance. But soon they find themselves caught up in a much bigger plot. Now can Portia and Theo find a way to save the themselves or will then find themselves banished from the world for all eternity?
Set in the same universe as the Asling Grey books and Even Vampires Get The Blues, this story unveils more about the Katie’s supernatural universe. I loved the way she brought back some of the minor characters you may have met in her previous novels. And while I think she rushed the ending a little bit, I believe it’s a story that Katie’s fans will enjoy – and something tells me, we’ll see more of these characters in future novels.
