Being the daughter of a supernatural monster makes it hard to have friends, especially when your father is determined to make you follow in his footsteps. It's especially tough at Halloween, but AT makes do with her magical dogs and the local ghosts. And this is almost a life…
…until the Wild Hunt shows up.
On this All Hallow's Day, they'll finally be released to pursue their ultimate ambition: hunting down every ghost in the mortal world. The only way to stop them is to venture into the heart of a cursed city and steal the source of their power. That's hardly a problem for the daughter of a monster–until she realizes she needs more than her magical dogs to get where she's going. She needs friends, too.
That's a lot scarier than a cursed city, but if she wants to save the ghosts, she'll have to find a way.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Keeping the spotlight on fierce young women fighting good fights, this absorbing third episode in Tzavelas's Senyaza contemporary urban fantasy series (following Infinity Key) focuses on Annalise, a nephil who resists her monstrous father's attempts to mold her and keeps three dogs in her shadow. Two days before Halloween, Annalise watches a strange man in Issaquah Commons kill a harmless ghost; subsequently she learns that the Wild Hunt have been released from their prison and want to destroy all disembodied human souls. Annalise risks her abusive father's wrath in order to partner with an impossible sorcerer and a 13-year-old girl to find the Hunt's ancient horn and stop them. It's heartening to see Annalise centered in her own story instead of being an object of pity in someone else's; unfortunately, the pacing and plot sag in the middle of the book as unlikely saviors proliferate, and goalposts shift as frequently and confusingly as the magical landscape. Despite these drawbacks, this is a satisfying standalone novel that explores the lives of endearing characters to good effect.
