Its bad enough that the Otherworld Intelligence Agency Menolly and her sisters work for has all but collapsed and war has broken out in Otherworld, creating instability conducive toShadow Wings plans to take overthere and Earthside. But now the nightmare of her past returns. Dredge, the psychotically sadistic vampire who forced her turn, is back to finish what he started and destroy Menolly completely by destroying the life shes built for herself. She must face the terrifying memories of that night and dig deep into herself to find the strength to not only defeat Dredge but also conquer her emotional isolation. Of the three sisters, Menolly arguably has the mostbaggage, making her story the most fulfilling journey of self-discovery to date in the Otherworld series (Witchling, 2006; Changeling, 2007). And true to form, all mythologies are fair game in Otherworld, an eclectic blend that works well among the equally quirky characters, who together provide the lighter moments in this slightly erotic urban fantasy.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2007, American Library Association.)
