Can I just say how much I completely love this series? Wow, it really does get better and deeper and more complex with every single story. Finally, Claire has decided to take Black's suggestion and leave the police department in order to be a private investigator. Before she ever even has an office or a license, old friends of Black's ask for her help in locating their missing daughter. While Claire jumps on the case, Black does what he does best, covers her back. He arranges an office space and most importantly finds a PI for her to work under until she gets her license, Will. Will is a giant prickly loner of a guy, which doesn't bother Claire in the least since her instincts tell her she can trust him.
While Black is busy checking up on his clients, Claire and Will track the missing girl into a web of satanic cult behavior. With a plot full of creepy and unusual characters, the story was really hard to put down. Claire expressed her very sarcastic sense of humor, and her interactions with Will were quite interesting. She is not a girly girl, but she remains feminine without being soft. She is such a great character. Will seemed pretty impressed with her too. The two had a connection, but it was difficult to discern where it might lead, if anywhere. If you're a fan of Black, don't worry. There's no trouble in paradise, and he is still Claire's rock.
Overall, I wouldn't have thought the author could outdo the last book, but she really did. As always, I was completely engrossed and couldn't stop until I finished it. I was thrilled to death to get an advance copy from Net Galley, and I can't wait for the next book.
