To put the vampire master behind bars and save her family, witch and former bounty hunter Rachel Morgan made a desperate bargain. Now there’s hell to pay—-literally. For if Rachel cannot stop him, the archdemon Algaliarept will pull her into the sorcerous ever-after to forfeit her soul as his slave. Forever.

Publishers Weekly

Even those who aren’t born-and-bled fans of the horror genre should enjoy Harrison’s third Rachel Morgan adventure, especially if they like lots of hot sex spiced with humor. Marguerite Gavin, who performed strongly in the earlier audio versions of Harrison’s bestsellers, is the ideal choice to keep the pot bubbling: she merrily mixes charming urbanity with knowing wisdom about how real people behave. Rachel, of course, is still the toughest witch and bounty hunter in Cincinnati, Ohio-and as usual is up to her very short leather skirt in trouble. She’s been abandoned by her lover, treated badly by a business partner (never trust a pixie!), and an old debt is about to be called in by an extremely irate and powerful demon known as Big Al. Add to this some frightening truths about the real powers behind the city’s politicians and what really killed Rachel’s father, and you’ve got a cross between The Sopranosand Draculawith lots of Sex in the Cityon the side.
