"You told a two-thousand-year-old oracle to prove it."

Charlie Madigan is a detective in Atlanta with the Integration Task Force. She is also a single mom to Emma. Charlie's partner, Hank, is a siren. people are dead or dying from a drug known as ash. It becomes personal when a family friend becomes a victim.

Charlie is a confusing character. She is kick ass at times and almost clueless at others. Her sister, Bryn, has an herb shop in Underground which since the Revelation caters primarily to the otherworldly. Charlie died 8 months before the beginning of this book and was brought back. This portion of the storyline is a basic good vs. evil plot with both the Elysians(gods) and Charbydons(demons) taking roles.

I adore Hank! I would like a gorgeous siren by my side! The trip to the Bath House is a hoot! Charlie is trying to come to terms about things that are happening within her that were not there before her death. The betrayal of her ex-husband, Will, still haunts her even though she can't stop loving him.

I like that Charlie puts her daughter first in everything she does. Her focus never lessens even as she is fighting the bad guys. There were a couple of times I put the book down and didn't think I would finish it but it kept drawing me back. I look forward to the next book to see where Charlie's life will lead.
