While I was very surprised at the abrupt change in tone from the first book in this series, I loved the way Tanzer included threads of lore that those who've read the first book could follow in the second. As always, Tanzer's characters are deep and so easy to fall in love with (or hate, as the case may be). I found this one to be a bit less exciting than the first, but was thrilled that the demons/monsters were so horrifying!

I'd definitely recommend giving it a go! (

"Thanks, but this is the last of it. I better get going... SJ ran me off like a dog."
"Nah, she likes dogs." (

Susan waited and waited for Miss Depth to walk through the door of the Calico Cat and join her for tea, but after an hour she gave up.

The wind was east and the tide was running high by the time Ellie West finished jamming all the crates of moonshine liquor into the smuggler’s hold of her skiff.
