| Alice made a bargain with the demon Teqon and now it’s time to fulfill it. She's struggling with how to get of it. Does she take the life of the leader of the Guardians or vanquish in Hell for all eternity? Novice Guardian Jake is struggling himself, trying to master his gift of teleporting. When he meets Alice, aka “The Black Widow”, he's creeped out by her spiders. But as they work together and get to know each other, Jake develops an admiration for her and her intelligence. Their efforts to free Alice from her bargain brings out many secrets of the Guardians.
I had mixed feelings about this book throughout. Once I realized this was the fourth full length book in a series, I knew why. I felt like this talented author has created a world unlike any I’ve read about. It’s very detailed and the plot has many layers. I was confused, however, about who was who and just how evil or good each person was. There were lots of characters to try to keep track of and each one seemed to have their own abilities. The one factor I really enjoyed was knowing the feelings Alice and Jake shared which were very real and emotional. Their bond was strong and the precursor to their happily ever after. Both were strong characters with real beliefs they were willing to die for.
