Average rating3.7
As a human vessel for an ancient spirit, Sandis lives no ordinary life. At the command of her master, she can be transformed against her will into his weapon—a raging monster summoned to do his bidding. Unlike other vessels, Sandis can host extremely powerful spirits, but hosting such creatures can be fatal. To stay alive, she must run. And in a city fueled by smoke and corruption, she finds a surprising ally.
A cunning thief for hire, Rone owns a rare device that grants him immortality for one minute every day—a unique advantage that will come in handy in Sandis’s fight for freedom. But Sandis’s master knows how powerful she is. He’s determined to get her back, and he has the manpower to find her, wherever she runs.
Now, to outwit her pursuers, Sandis must put all her trust in Rone and his immortal device. For her master has summoned more than mere men to hunt her down…

Repetitive and bland. Charlie N Holmberg's books do start off very interesting but they have a tendency of either reading like a short outline or being very unoriginal and motivation-less plot wise. Things happen because she wants them to, conflicts go on and on for books when everything could be wrapped up in just one 500 page book.

Look this isn't a bad book – and I'd even recommend it to some people, it just isn't for me. Had I not taken time away from it I'm sure I would have finished it, but the more I waited to get the back to it, the more I didn't want to. When I realized I already knew I wouldn't be continuing the series I knew it was time to put it to rest.
It is interesting: there are demons, mafia members, ancient artifacts, and some darker themes. There is a good story here and even the characters have a pull to them.
Unfortunately, I just felt separate from everything happening– I wasn't pulled into the story, which is an entirely personal wtf problem and not with the book.
If you are thinking about giving this book a try, I do think you should!
