In this story, Paige and Lucas are facing Industrial-like magical problems rather than the dime-store-like magical problems from the last book. That is to say, the severity of what's going on is multiplied a few times over... and last time they barely survived!
This time they've had to work more closely with a necromancer who has her own "Spiritualist" show and is quite famous... and it looks as though they're going to be working much, much more closely with not only the Cortez Cabal, but also the others. Fun? Not so much... full of tension, hair-curling action and a nasty, supernatural, serial killer Paige and Lucas have their work cut out for them. A very difficult book to put down ~ VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

WOMEN OF THE OTHERWORLD.
THIS IS NOT YOUR MOTHER'S COVEN....
In the aftermath of her mother's murder, Paige broke with the elite, ultraconservative American Coven of Witches. Now her goal is to start a new Coven for a new generation. But while Paige pitches her vision to uptight thirty-something witches in business suits, a more urgent matter commands her attention.
Someone is murdering the teenage offspring of the underworld's most infuential Cabals ~ a circle of families that makes the mob look like amateurs. And none is more powerful than the Cortez Cabal, a faction Paige is intimately acquainted with. Lucas Cortez, the rebel son and unwilling heir, is none other than her boyfriend. But love isn't blind, and Paige has her eyes wide open as she is drawn into a hunt for an unnatural-born killer. Pitted against shamans, demons, and goons, it's a battle chilling enough to make a wild young woman grow up in a hurry. If she gets the chance.
