About this ebook
Starting a new job can be murder.
As the first Justice of the Arcana Council in two hundred years, Tarot-reading Sara Wilde is tasked with taking out the most dangerous magic-wielding criminals on the planet. Her first assignment? A killer known only as the Red King, who's systematically picking off the world's most gifted magicians in the rollicking streets and storied canals of Venice, Italy, on the eve of Carnevale.
Amidst the festival's music, masks, and brightly colored costumes, Sara must unravel the truth about a brutal murderer from Venice's own murky past, navigate the twisting political currents of magicians who seek to rival her own Council, and keep one costume change ahead of a conjurer whose lethal spells could end Justice--permanently. Good thing the diabolically sexy and deeply powerful Magician of the Arcana Council has Sara's back...if only he didn't hold so much of her heart as well.

I was expecting a debut novel of this series to read like a continuation of Immortal Vegas, but it was so much more. While it was a continuation, and having read the previous series helps, it was a new entity completely. I loved the fresh spin and evolution of Sara Wilde. The relationship between her and the Magician was different, but more realistic. I enjoyed following a couple who weren't terribly dependant on one another, while still expressing a deep bond. This was a great novel, and I can't wait for the series to continue.

Great book to read for some down time. Characters were fun and interesting. Storyline was nothing amazing but good enough to keep you reading. Personally i enjoyed the characters most in the book. I am now wanting to know the background and how it all happened as well as what comes next. Can recommend.

I love this author's work. I was drawn in with the Vegas series and am now loving this one. The descriptive play on words, the well developed characters and story line, all make this a series worth owning.
