He also doesn’t like Rachel and Ivy living together and it is partly out of jealousy but also partly because he is concerned for Rachel. Speaking of humans, Nick is around more in this one as Rachel’s boyfriend and they are settling into a loving relationship, but her renewed use of ley line magic and her inexperience in it and its consequences leads to trouble between them. But there is friction between the two, and also a human-Inderlander mistrust. Glenn, for his part, wants to solve the case before more murders, and is willing to help her out to a certain extent. She is gunning for Kalamack, and even though Edden doesn’t approve, she is determined to prove Trent is involved. While Rachel is investigating her old ley line professor for the FIB, she is being chaperoned by Glenn, a new character added in this book, who sort of becomes a grudging friend to her. Meanwhile, we get a more detailed understanding of vampire politics through Ivy and her relationship with her master vampire, Piscary, who is like a gazillion years old and preys on the living vamps of Cincinnati. The plot circles around a murder mystery mainly – a serial killer has been offing ley line witches in Cincinnati, and Rachel has been asked by the FIB (the human-run agency) to help investigate their suspect, a professor of ley line magic in the university. This book can best be described as Experiments in Ley Line magic. Warnings: rape, assault, descriptions of gruesome crime scenes To save herself and Ivy, Rachel must confront the vampire master-and the dark secrets she’s hidden even from herself.

She’s left the corrupt Inderland Runner Service and started her own independent service.
