I received this book for Yule and raced through it, then read it again.First, there is a secret, there are two ways to read this book.  Straight through, like I did, because I am basically lazy and kind of A type and like linear!  Or you can read it with A Fey Harvest.  For those of you in the know, Vervain's ring and her use of it to jump realms is the key to changing books.I normally don't cry during books.  Heck, the only book that scared me was Peter Straub's Floating Dragon and I don't know why it scared me.  But I bawled during this book.You see, I am so in love with the whole world and every character Amy has created, when we lose one, through their own inate honor, love and goodness, it was like losing a very good friend that I have known for months.A quicky synopsis.  Demeter is still out there, hunting and terrorizing Vervain and her men, and she has what everyone thinks is a new weapon.  Whatever it is, it scares Gods and Demigods to death.  Not in that "oh the Conjuring scared me to death" cool way, but in a lost their souls kind of way.  Everyone that isn't in Vervain's group is a suspect.  The Hawaiian God of the Sea, the Fey everyone.  When Vervain slips into the Interrealm, with the trusty, logical Trevor at her side, she discovers what it is.  It is bigger than a weapon, bigger than a Atlantean pretending to be a god and soaking up worship, it is bigger and more frightening than anyone can imagine.I hold this book up as what an indie author can do that a mainstream (if you can call urban fantasy mainstream) author can't.  She can drag us kicking and screaming into our greatest childhood fears, kill off someone we love deeply but still make us want to turn the next page.I'm holding out on book 9 A Fey Harvest, like you hold on to that last expensive chocolate you got for valentine's day.  I can't wait to fall back into Vervain's world.
