Fans of Armstrong's popular urban fantasy series will remember Savannah Levine, the engaging young witch who first appeared as a secondary character in Stolen. With Paige and Lucas out of town, Savannah seizes the opportunity to break out of her support role to become the primary investigator on a multiple-murder case in the small town of Columbus, WA. Despite her desire to handle the case alone, Savannah finds herself the recipient of assistance from no fewer than three attractive men: Adam, a coworker whom she has had a crush on for years; Jesse Aanes, a half-demon PI from the West Coast; and Detective Michael Kennedy, a Dallas police officer who is half brother to one of the victims. Verdict Savannah is a gutsy, shrewd, and accomplished protagonist who will immediately capture the reader's allegiance. Although this is essential for any Otherworld fan, readers new to the series will still be able to enjoy this delightful, fast-paced adventure without difficulty.
