Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

If you haven't read the previous two books in "The Firebrand Series", then do yourself a favour and read them first. You will much more enjoy this third story in the series.
From the first two books, the reader got used to Emma dying and resurrecting twelve hours later. She's the only supe with this knack and by now, every other supe knows it. In this book, however, one of the other main figures dies in connection with a crime. And even though the crime involves supes, it is performed by humans and therefore Emma it's no longer Emma's jurisdiction. However, neither is she going to easily accept that nor is DS Collier the right person to deal with anything that has remotely a supe-connection. And as a longer-term side story, Emma somewhat loosens up to some personal matters. It will be interesting to see what becomes out of that in the future.
As already the first two books in this series, it is well written, easy to read and never gets boring. Some of the conclusions Emma comes to are not quite clear to the reader at first, but they are explained later.
