Charley has her memories back but her relation with Reyes is not going great. Back to work with Cookie, Charley has to find the real killer of a woman that mysteriously disappeared in a car full of her blood, as well as take care of a homeless teenager that has been "cursed".

There's something I really appreciate about this series, no matter the nature of the cases Charley is working on, I never solve them before the end. The first half of the book did not deserve 5 stars, it was slow and frustrating because Charley and Reyes do not talk and a big chunk of the story revolves around the same issues. But after a glorious chapter where they finally start acting like a couple again (I guess gods have to be stubborn), the rest of the book is amazing. For the first time ever, Charley knows more than Reyes and I liked that. The action never stops, the tiny clues keep popping and I am very happy with the conclusion even though I am utterly confused. Was not Reyes that planned his coming to "this dimension" to be with Charley and grow old together? Was it the other way round? I cannot wait for the next book, Charley is on a mission!

Just a tiny note: I think Darynda writes wonderful dialogues, so I would be more than happy to read more dialogues and less intertwined text slowing them down.
