Review by Booklist Review

The third Sabina Kane book picks up the action at the point where The Mage in Black (2010) leaves off, with half-mage, half-vampire (and former assassin) Sabina heading to New Orleans accompanied by her demon familiar, Giguhl, and mage Adam. Sabina is desperate to rescue her newfound twin sister, who has been kidnapped by their wicked grandmother (from the vampire side), so they enlist the help of a local witch and voodoo practitioner and her transgendered assistant to help scour the Big Easy. Wells does a nice job creating a seamless blend between magical and real worlds, which makes it easy for the reader to handle curveballs, like finding out that a popular rock band is headlined by a recreant mage, or that a sinister secret society is working to enable to return of Lilith and Cain from earlier episodes. Urban-fantasy fans who like their heroines tough will enjoy this series; suggest it especially to fans of the sadly deceased Jennifer Rardin.--Moyer, Jessica Copyright 2010 Booklist

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Spectacular action scenes fail to balance a needlessly baroque kidnapping plot as vampire-mage crossbreed Sabina Kane (familiar from Red-Headed Stepchild and The Mage in Black) tracks her stolen twin sister to the extravagantly decadent streets of New Orleans. Aided by her demon servant, Giguhl, and handsome mage Adam Lazarus, Sabina must confront her murderous grandmother, the vampire Domina Lavinia, and the evil vampires of the Caste of Nod. Voodoo priestess Zenobia and changeling drag queen Brooks help Sabina untangle the complex alliances and enmities of New Orleans's supernatural society. An artificially complicated plot and overly contrived humor weigh down this installment, which will only be of interest to series fans. (Mar.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
