The 6th book in the Cassie Palmer series. Pritkin saved Cassie at the end of the last book but at the cost of his own freedom. He is now back in the demon realms as his father's prisoner and Cassie is determined to get him back. How? She is still trying to figure that way out but she is thinking talking to her mom, Artemis (yes the Goddess), is probably a good place to start. Harder than you think considering she's been dead for a while and wasn't easy to approach when she was living even though Cassie can go back in time. Even if she gets information from her mom, it will still mean breaking into the demon realms and getting Pritkin out of there in one piece. Then, of course, there is still her regular life as Pythia to deal with with. The witches are barging in demanding meetings and what about the Pythia Court that she has yet to even set foot in since becoming Pythia? Yeah, her hands are just a little full.
Ok, first off, I'm not a huge Mircea fan so I'm putting that out there. It's not that I dislike him or I think he and Cassie are a bad match but he's a typical vampire which means he's hot, secretive, and manipulative. Not such a huge fan of the later two and it seems that frequently when Cassie is in need of support, he is nowhere to be found. Pritkin has been there, even if his support is not what we would normally think of as being "supportive" but he has kept her alive (after he stopped trying to kill her) and been a staunch ally and we keep finding out more about him so he is intriguing as a more fully fleshed out character. That being said tho, I do not like that this uber-important person, Cassie, is risking everything to go find him and bring him back but okay, friendship and loyalty and all that. Got it. It was an interesting journey and we got more backstory on Artemis and the other gods and their relationships with humans and demons so there was a lot of stuff being fleshed out which I like and is setting things up for the future. In all, I found it fast paced but with a little less of the standard humor. I still wish Cassie would start figuring things out at least at the same time I do instead of many pages later. She really needs to be a little smarter in my opinion.
