Synopsis

'Those who appreciate heroines with a good measure of spunk, sass and strong-arm savvy will find this a fun if fitful read.' - Publishers Weekly

'Mesmerizing . . . the 'other-worldly' atmosphere conjured up by Armstrong begins to seem strangely real. Armstrong is a talented and original writer whose inventiveness and sense of the bizarre is arresting.' - The London Free Press

Eve Levine - half-demon, black witch and devoted mother - has been dead for three years. She has a great house, an interesting love life and can't be killed again - which comes in handy when you've made as many enemies as Eve. Yes, the afterlife isn't too bad - all she needs to do is find a way to communicate with her daughter Savannah and she'll be happy.

But fate - or more exactly, the Fates - have other plans. Eve owes them a favour, and they've just called it in. An evil spirit called the Nix has escaped from hell. She feeds on chaos and death, and is very good at persuading people to kill for her. The Fates want Eve to hunt her down before she does any more damage, but the Nix is a dangerous enemy - previous hunters have been sent mad in the process.

As if that's not problem enough, it turns out that the only way to stop her is with an angel's sword. And Eve's no angel . . .

A brilliant novel of suspense with a supernatural twist - packaged in the stunning new Kelley Armstrong series style.

About this title

Review

Armstrong has created a persuasive, finely detailed other-worldly cosmology - featuring sorcery, astral projection, spells, telepathy and teleportation. (TORONTO STAR)

Don't go giving all the credit to the recent Twilight phenomenon.... Long before American author Stephenie Meyer came on the scene - four years before to be precise - Canadian fantasy novelist Kelley Armstrong began paving the way with Women of the Underworld... (WINNIPEG FREE PRESS)

Like Stephen King, . . . Armstrong not only writes interesting page-turners, she has also achieved that unlikely goal, what all writers strive for: a genre of her own. . . . This is not The Call of the Wild; it's Nora Roberts meets The Sopranos by way of Henry David Thoreau. (THE WALRUS)
