RaveFreshFictionAfter reading the previous books in this series, I was hungry for some major girl power ... J.R. Ward is really terrific at telling parallel love stories, and this book is a great example. In addition to the dynamite romance in The Thief, there is a villain or two in the mix, with some sinister magical weirdness to bedevil the good guys ... sensual, saucy, and sinfully delicious in every way.
