Another great installment of the Women of the Otherworld series! The first two were about werewolf Elena Michaels and the last introduced Paige Winterbourne, the protagonist of this story.

Paige is stubborn, smart, and determined – something her new ward Savannah should be happy about. Savannah lost her mother, Eve, in the last book and Eve was a suspected practitioner of black magic. Despite receiving no support from her coven, Paige is determined to keep Savannah and mentor her to be a witch for good.

Paige’s first challenge to her guardianship is a legal custody case from a sorcerer cabal (their corporate equivalent of a coven). Things go from bad to worse as Paige discovers the custody suite involves the psycho half-demon Leah and a powerful sorcerer who alleges he is Savannah’s biological father. From here things only continue to escalate and poor Paige and Savannah are dealing with issues ranging from annoying to downright life-threatening as the book continues. Luckily a sorcerer do-gooder/pro-bono attorney, Lucas, steps in to help and Paige and Savannah.


Yay for Lucas - but despite his help things keep spiraling out of control. This book started slow but ended up being quite a ride!

So far every book in this series has been completely different but I have liked them all. It is hard to compare since they are so different but so far I like #2 the best, then this and #1 is my least favorite (but it is still entertaining). Paige and Elena both know how to roll with the punches, though Paige is a bit more naïve and white-hat than Elena.

Spoiler

I loved Lucas, he is such a straight laced guy, but Paige knows how to bring him out of his shell. I can’t see where their relationship goes from here – I wanted more from this book but I’m glad their story will continue in the next.

Wow, things went to hell quickly for Paige! From the craziness in her town to the firebombing of her house and abduction, barely escaped murder/rape, and then Savannah losing her mind and summoning some demon king. I was so happy that crazy Leah finally got hers… I’ve loathed her since the last book – that fake friendly thing drove me nuts.


(apparently this is my review for Jimmy Fallon gifs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

Audio note: there was another narrator change and she was pretty decent – it’s a bit annoying to have so many narrators.
