3.5 out of 5 stars
This series is bonkers. The vampires or Dark Ones aren't as suave or competent as they are usually portrayed. The women are blithering idiots. The plot is ridiculous. And it's all quite entertaining.
Pia has never allowed herself to feel smart or confident. She has spent her adult life putting herself down because she isn't half of a couple. Society is hard on women who can't find or don't want a partner and Pia has internalized this judgement. Ironically, after several days dealing with Dark Ones, the Brotherhood of the Blessed Light, and a gaggle of ghosts, all while avoiding Icelandic law enforcement, Pia is able to claim her power. She knows what she wants to do and what she absolutely won't do and she has commitment to stick to her guns.
So, despite all the slapstick shenanigans, Pia comes out of her ruined European tour with more strength than before. Unlike previous books, this one is has a cliffhanger ending, so if you don't like waiting, make sure you have the next book teed up and ready to go!
