I may be running out of words to describe how much I'm in love with Elise's writing!! Fair warning, although this book can be read as a standalone novel, to better understand Hallie's back story I'd recommend reading Cora's story and to understand Cora's relationship with Black, read the Pitch Black series... Basically, just read all Blackwood books and you'll fall in love! Worth stocking up your library for reading and re-reading!

After several great books in other story lines, we are back to the original Blackwood Security story. Many of our favorite characters make an appearance, though the main characters Ford and Hallie are developed for the first time. This book has the familiar Elise Noble flair – interesting “who dunnit” crime solving interwoven with a nice romance. As usual, people get what is coming to them, whether good or bad – one of my favorite parts of Elise’s books. There are some uniquely cute and funny scenes, including a parrot as foul-mouthed as Emmy, and seeing from Ford’s perspective how the Blackwood clan looks to an outsider. As always, Elise has also masterfully introduced new characters we are sure to see again, as well as continued to add spicy little details that keep adding on to what we know about characters from previous books, who may soon have their own stories. Cannot wait!
