Starred Review. Harkness's final trilogy installment (after Shadow of Night) is a satisfying conclusion to the series. The author weaves the intricate threads of vampire, witch, and demon lore carefully into a colorful tapestry of characters and settings, dangers and resolutions. Historian and witch Diana Bishop and vampire scientist Matthew Clairmont must separate in order to seek the knowledge and power they need to make the world safe for their unborn children. Yet, to best their adversaries, Matthew and Diana must both give up something. Will the price be more dangerous than the enemy? It is pure pleasure to listen to Jennifer Ikeda read. She brings each character to life-an amazing achievement considering the number of people who live in these pages. Accents, pacing, and timbre are all spot on. VERDICT Highly recommended. ["History, science, and the unpredictable actions of paranormal characters with hidden agendas all swirl together to create a not-to-be-missed finale to a stellar paranormal series," read the review of the Viking hc, LJ 6/15/14.]-Juleigh Muirhead Clark, Colonial Williamsburg Fdn.
