When M'Cal's cruel master orders M'Cal to steal Kitala's soul, he's loathe to carry through with it but can't stop himself or the witch.

By the time M'Cal catches up with Kit, he's forced into the role of rescuer and, before long, red-hot lover. Though it starts slow as clueless Kit must become acquainted with the author's paranormal underworld Liu's latest is a clever, finely constructed take on the "Little Mermaid" story and delivers great paranormal suspense. Though the love story lacks complexity, and the Dirk & Steele detectives play only a peripheral part, all the other elements Liu fans expect a strong heroine, a damaged hero, sharp dialogue and funny, fanciful details are well-represented, making this a satisfying return to her universe.
