I enjoyed this story very much, even though I rarely read ghost or paranormal stories. I think when a book is well-written, it compels you to read on and this one does. The protagonist/character of Riga is a well-rounded, likable person. She's a woman driven by needs she doesn't always understand, and I love her being in love with Donovan despite herself. The descriptions of people, places, surroundings, and often the five senses are beautifully written. Ms. Weiss knows her stuff. The story is laced liberally with ghosts and fae people, and sometimes it was a little over my head. However, I adored her familiar, Brigitte, a gargoyle with a selfish heart of pure gold, and looked forward to Riga's exchanges with the little stone darling. I would have like to have known just where Brigitte disappeared to and why; it would have grounded the story more for me. This is the third in the series I started with, and had no problem keeping up. I like it when a series book can stand alone, and this one does. I will read more of this series.
