3.5 Stars rounded down due to repetitiveness, uber angst, overdramatic descriptions, and lack of character growth.
And here I was thinking that for the last 6 years that this series was over. Silly me. I grabbed this as an ARC thinking it was going to be something new and fresh and what I got was pretty much the same old stuff.
There were so many plots going on and loose ends to tie up that I kept getting distracted. Yes, it was nice and comforting to revisit old friends and to make some new ones, but this book feels more to me like the entire series is going to start up again. That perhaps the author just doesn't have it in her to create something fresh and new.
It was creative with all of the spell casting but it was kind of boring listening to them being invoked and discussed ad nauseam.
There is a tiny cliff hanger.

SYNOPSIS:
"A thrilling return to the #1 New York Times bestselling urban fantasy series, continuing Rachel Morgan's story.
RACHEL MORGAN IS BACK--AND THE HOLLOWS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.
What happens after you've saved the world? Well, if you're Rachel Mariana Morgan, witch-born demon, you quickly discover that something might have gone just a little bit wrong. That the very same acts you and your friends took to forge new powers may have released something bound by the old. With a rash of zombies, some strange new murders, and an exceedingly mysterious new demon in town, it will take everything Rachel has to counter this new threat to the world--and it may demand the sacrifice of what she holds most dear."
