Nell Ingram faces a dark craft known as death magic in the newest pulse-pounding paranormal procedural in the New York Times bestselling Soulwood series.
Nell Ingram is a rookie PsyLed agent, using the powers she can channel from deep within the earth to solve paranormal crimes. Together with her team, she's taken on the darkest magic and the direst foes. But she'll need to tap into every ounce of power she has for her newest case.
Nell is called to the Tennessee mansion of a country music star and finds a disturbing scene--dead bodies rapidly decaying before everyone's eyes. The witch on her team, T. Laine, knows this can only be one thing: death magic, a rare type of craft used to steal life forces. PsyLed needs to find this lethal killer fast. But when a paranormal-hating FBI agent tries to derail the investigation, they find themselves under attack from all sides.
My Review:
This book was a fantastic read! I loved spending more time with these characters! It was a little different, since Nell isn't the probie anymore, and Rick is investigating another case-which is good because it gives him a break after everything that happened in Moon-in another town with Margot, our new kinda probie, kind of because she was FBI before this. And so Ayatas FireWind is the head honcho, and I really enjoyed seeing his and Nell's dynamics in this book!
There's a lot of change in this book. After the last one, well, there's her sisters Mud and Esther staying with her, which is causing some tension. There's the Vampire Tree/Green Knight situation. Her romance with Occam had some developments, which were so sweet to read. And of course the magic in this book is new and shakes things up a bit!
T. Laine takes the lead in this book, for a variety of reasons, including that some sort of witch magic caused this, meaning that witch magic is needed to contain it. I really enjoyed seeing her take charge, she really puts a lot of herself into this investigation, and she'll need a break after this case is done, that's for sure!
We did explore more into Nell and her family being one-offs, and we learn more of what she could be. I really enjoyed how it was woven in, because I totally didn't expect it to go in that direction! I think there's still more to learn, and I can't wait for that!
This was a fantastic book, and I can't wait for more from this world!
