Reviewed by Jan Fields

In this third novel in the series, Bianca Sin is a forensic witch who works with the NYPD. The most recent case involves young women who are murdered and cut open to remove the baby in each of them. It's clear the Dark Brethren are involved, but Bianca isn't sure just what they intend. Bianca is teamed up with NYPD homicide detective Lancelot McManus, a man with more than a professional interest in her. In this third installment in the Dark Brethren series, both Bianca and McManus run full on into their destinies so this is a huge turning point in the series. Though the novel had some charming light moments, this is no fluffy paranormal romance -- the crimes are brutal and the characters suffer at the hands of the bad guys. It's the kind of book where happy endings don't come cheap, and are rarely as happy as the characters would like. I found the plot compelling with plenty of twists and surprises. I found the new paranormal creatures a delightful surprise. And I found myself hoping the series continues -- I'd enjoy reading more.
