This is the third book in the Rune Alexander series, and oh my God! If you don't think things can get any worse for Shiv Crew, you are sorely mistaken. I loved this book for all the things it is not to the other two books. This one is not happy. This one is not light. This one is nearly devoid of joy. It is a dark, gripping, earth shattering tale about a group of law enforcement that never, ever gets to take a break. Rune Alexander and her crew of misfits own me lock stock and barrel. They are some of the toughest characters I have ever read. All through this book, I found myself praying that Shiv Crew would catch a break. Not gonna lie, in this book, no one is safe. If you think the author won't take this crew to their breaking point, you are sadly mistaken.In this book, the action hits you from page one. Now we get a lot of zombies. From a baby necromancer, no less. Something is different with the new zombies, they are far stronger and faster than "normal" ones. Bring on the uber bad witch to spoil Rune's day. Hey, throw in her Dad too! Who would have thought? As the crew suffers their worst nightmare, and more, they battle the darkness and COS and the humans. When Rain loses everything but her life, can she battle back and be the leader this team needs? How will they find their missing teammates? What fate will finally destroy Rune beyond her ability to recover? Could they finally have found a way to kill her? With her spirits so low, will she walk into the darkness and give up like she wants to? Or will she find the strength to do what is necessary even if it breaks her heart into a million pieces? Can Shiv Crew move on from this huge blow to their numbers? And true to the addiction that is this series, not all of your questions gets answered in this book. I am glad the fourth book is out because otherwise I would be losing my mind wondering how things turned out. Grab this book and hang on tight. oh, and grab a box of Kleenex because you are going to need it
