When the fates need someone to find out why the Djinn begin reneging on their deals, they send in part demon, part angel, all ghost witch Eve Levine. Eve has always been a bit of a rule breaker, and decides to do things her own way, but as she finds the possibility of getting fired all too real she sees that some rules are meant to be left unbroken.

This is a very quick read, giving little insight to already established characters of the Otherworld series. I'll admit, the werewolf plot lines always seem tighter than the witch ones, and this one is no exception.

Most of the dialogue that takes place is inner dialogue, the plot feels rushed, and there is no emotional connection to Eve or her plight. The illustrations are beautiful, but not needed, nor are there any in the other books. However the high price of this limited edition may discourage many readers since this book does not further the series.
