Helpful Score: 3
This is the first in Lackey's series featuring Diana Tregarde, a witch and guardian who fights evil powers. It is different take on magic and mystic power.
Lackey is one of the best storytellers I have read, but she isn't at her best in this book. The situation is intriguing but the execution seemed lacking.
In the first place, the fact that it took Diana so very long to realize she was facing Aztec magic was frustrating. Yes, Lackey did have put in a reason for her inability to make the connection, but it still drove me crazy.
Also, the murders were numerous and gruesome. True she didn't go into unnecessary detail, but the information that was necessary was far more than I wanted.
This isn't a bad book, but it isn't up to Lackey's usual standards.
