Although this was the fourth in the series, it read very well. It picked up from a position in what was probably the third, with her stepping in as CEO of Death, Inc. She thinks everything is cushy, but suddenly discovers that her trials aren't over, and again enlists her assistant and other immortals in her quest. There were two major quibbles I had with this book. One, she is supposed to be an adult but tends to go off in adolescent daydreams at very inappropriate times. Two, it appears that she is clueless as to how to handle a situation without calling on Kali for help. There is a third, not quite as irritating, but close. Kali keeps calling her "white girl", instead of by name. If the tag was another racial epithet, it would never have seen print in this genre. Nuff said. I won't read the others in the series. 3.5 starsI always greatly enjoy this series. I waited a long time to start this one bc the last made me so mad. this one was a little more generically urban fantasy than the others have been, with the whole murder whodunit as the main action. but,being the author she is, she made fun of that storyline well,even while advancing through it. and there were a great deal more twists and turns than you normally see in one mystery. not what I expect from this series,but done in a fitting way. and I really loved everything about the ending
