This novel is actually more emotionally packed than the first of the series.  Derrick tackles difficult subjects head on to create a shocking tale you won’t be able to put down even for a second.  The dark undertones that Derrick works into her descriptions add a sense of urgency to this novel.  She paints a dark world for her characters to live in, but also shows the cracks where light sets through.Even though we got to know the main characters quite well in the first novel of this series, we get to know them much more intimately in this one.  It’s all in the little details with this novel.  You also get to know some of the supporting characters much better.  They become more like family than storybook characters.I love the mix of reality, history, and mythology that Derrick has worked together into this brilliant novel.  My last thoughts?  GAAAHHH!!!  I need more now!  I can’t wait for the next instalment in this brilliant series.Please note that I received this novel free of charge from the author in exchange for an honest review.
