" I really enjoyed this book and hope to read the whole series before the next one comes out soon. After the first few chapters it was hard to put down. "
— Bran, 2/16/2014" I would've given this book four stars except the end of the book was such a letdown. It was as if the writer suddenly ran out of ideas and suddenely after tons of tension and buildup, everything turned out fine in the story. It didn't gel very well at all. VERY DISAPPOINTING. "
— Mel, 2/8/2014" This book is an entertaining read. It is the third of a series. I enjoyed the book but it was not nearly as good as the book that came before it. "
— Nusaybah, 2/1/2014" Good story and I love the African Immortals series, but Due has the tendancy to make her female characters sound like whiny whimps. Jessica is grating on my last nerve, and now she's ruined Fana! I have to fight the urge to skip past pages with Jessica as the narrator. "
— Brianna, 1/31/2014" While the second book let me down a little, this third installment restored my faith. Very good book. Still not as good as the first one, but very good. "
— Wsb, 1/30/2014" Ms. Due as always your books are simply wonderful! Please make us proud with the next book in the series. "
— Vanessa, 1/16/2014" I didn't realize that this was book three of a series. It took a while to figure out what was going on in the story and the continual backstory feed killed the suspense. Maybe I'll start with book one. "
— Denise, 1/2/2014" I can't say enough good things about Tananarive Due and this, her third book, that follows Jessica, her husband Dawit, and their 'interesting' blood line. This novel ties together a lot of the plot threads that were left open by her second book and had a much tighter storyline. "
— Alison, 12/30/2013" Couldn't stop reading, loving this series. "
— Angela, 12/28/2013" This was pretty good. God enough that I would read the sequel, but not good enough to buy the sequel. "
— Gwen, 12/14/2013" Another excellent book in this series. I love Tananarive's work, and this was no exception. I hope there is a 4th in this series! "
