by Margaret Ronald
This is the third novel in the Evie Scelan series. I liked it better than the second one, Wild Hunt. The story picks up shortly after the events of the previous book, with Evie severely weakened from a bad bargain with a spirit, as well as with a rather alarming deadline hanging over her. Unfortunately, this leaves her prey to those who wish to use her to reinstate a terrible power in Boston Harbor.
As in the previous books, I really enjoyed the way Ronald uses the history and folklore of Boston. The way she writes about Boston, it really feels like the city I live in, not some slick, prettied-up, or glamorized version. I especially liked the exploration of Boston's harbor and the Quabbin reservoir, as it both tied into an important part of the previous book and pushed forward into new territory. Also, the last third of the book is just so damn wonderfully exciting.
