I so enjoy spending time with Nell Inghram, our widder-woman who liberated herself from a cult in East Tennessee. Oh, and a yinehi with unique powers and abilities. I have loved watching her come into herself as the series has progressed. As Nell's experiences have grown beyond pizza and Krispy Kreme, she has amassed a family through blood and the land. So Nell is no longer our loner against the church, but now has a team to help fight battles both personal and professional. Her common sense approach to life and solving crimes is endearing and inspiring. And her relationship with Occam, the werecat, is so dang cute that I can't help but smile at their interactions.
In this latest installment, PsyLED is investigating a particularly nasty spree of death and decay like they have never seen before. We see them becoming more integrated, along with their new boss, Ayatas Firewind (who you will recognize as Jane Yellowrock's skin walking brother). There are fewer secrets among the team members, with hard conversations being had all around. I think the openness and support from unexpected places helps the team work as a more cohesive unit. While Nell always plays a big part in defeating the bug bad, this time I felt like she had to give less of herself to do so because she was able to rely on the rest of the team.
I am also really enjoying the progression of the vampire tree and it's sentience. This aspect of the story has evolved quite a bit and I think the new spin is going to be very interesting for Nell and her family.
I voluntarily read and reviewed a complimentary copy of this book via NetGalley.
