The only thing Mircea wants is for Cassie to be safe and guarded and not lifting a finger. Yeah, that really doesn't work for her, not because she doesn't want to swim and sun and laze all day, but rather because the bad guys just come to her instead.
When an important meeting with the Circle goes wrong Cassie is dragged all over the place. Power struggles, a mole and an angry god... what more do you want?
I can tell you this: that last part just killed me :D Was laughing so much :D

Worldbuilding:
All scenes and environments were clear and well detailed. Really well done if you know there is so much action going on and we, the reader, needs to know where the hell we are :)

Character development:
OMG, Pritkin and Cassie were hilarious in this instalment!! Cassie made it quite clear what she thought about the other sex and it had me giggling like a teenager :D
We learned a little more about the players on the board, even some hint of another well-loved character from Mircea's life (if I remember correctly at least).
This instalment focussed more on the Circle instead of Apollo, though he did get some screentime :) Then again, the Circle showed us why you have to be a lunatic to even remotely consider joining the Corps.
A new bodyguard Marco joined the team to try and keep Cassie safe, but come on... why are they kidding? That woman is a magnet for trouble.
The characters, main or side, all felt alive and believable (though utterly crazy of course).

Pacing and flow:
As we've come to expect from Cassie... there is never a dull moment. A ton of action going on, superbly balanced with conversation to keep the story moving forward.

The book:
The book was well written with no (noticeable) errors. There is sex described (if that is important to you).
The book is 386 pages long, spread over 28 chapters and told from Cassie's point of view.

Final thoughts:
Was it me or was that ending a tad... anti-climatic? I mean, yes, a lot of stuff happened, but... I was left hanging.
Nevertheless, still one of my most favourite series to date. Can't wait to reread book 5! ( )

Still good ( )

If you've read up to this book then you already know that this is an incredibly addictive series. We started off with a meek heroine and have watched her grow into something else entirely. Karen Chance creates characters with enough depth, growth and personalities that it's hard to see them as characters only. Each book is better than the last leaving readers yearning for more. ( )

It’s no surprise at all that the fourth book in the Cassandra Palmer series doesn’t disappoint! Karen Chance’s skill a creating fantastically fast paced and entertaining storylines and wonderfully complex characters shines from the pages of every book. Torn between the vampire senate and silver circle, with an angry, homicidal god on her tail, Cassie’s determination and ingenuity are as addictive as her ‘girl next door’ realism. Well worth a read! #TeamPritkin !!! ( )

Another stunning book by Karen. I couldn’t put it down and found this instalment to be utterly thrilling and full of twists and turns. This series just keeps getting better and better and always leaves you hungry for more. Full of amazing characters, with fun and interesting new extras in each book, there is never a dull moment. If only we could live in a world like Karen has created. ( )
