This review can also be found at Carole's Random Life in Books.

had such a great time with this book! I was really excited to get my hands on an early copy of this newest book in the Devil's Isle series. This is a series that really should be read in order since each book builds on previous installments. It has been just under two years since I read the previous book in this series and I have to admit it took me a bit to catch up with everything going on in Claire's world but once my memories started coming back, I was completely hooked.

Claire, Liam, and the rest of the gang are just trying to hold what they can together in their home of New Orleans. It was really nice to get the chance to catch up with characters that I have really grown to love over the course of the series. They have really grown individually and as a group and I love the way that they know that they can depend on each other. They are also just a lot of fun with some great banter and completely touching moments.

In this installment, the group is battling not only battling supernatural forces but there is also the small matter of a hurricane that threatens the city. Claire, along with a group of her friends, must go on a rather dangerous mission in order to get the tools needed to save the city and the people she cares about. It was really interesting to see the pieces come together as I worked my way through this story. I thought that there was a really nice balance of exciting action, romantic moments, and working on solutions.

I would recommend this book to others. This was a book that I didn't want to put down once I got started. I feel like I have been through a lot with this wonderful group of characters and wanted nothing more than to see them successfully deal with the situation they were in. I did think that this book felt a little more final than previous books but I am hoping we will get more of this exciting series in the future.

I received a review copy of this book from Berkley Publishing Group.

Initial Thoughts
This was great! It took me just a bit to remember where things left off with the last book but once I did, I was completely hooked. Claire, Liam, and the rest of the group were great in this story and there was plenty of excitement to go around. This book really seemed to wrap everything up well and I do wonder if there are any future books planned in the series. This really was a highly entertaining read.
