Smoke and Mirrors is the sequel to Silver and Bone, following the vampire detective Jennifer Jones as she tackles another intriguing bizarre case, this time with a brand-new partner!
What I love most about this series so far are the characters. The author has written them so well that it’s hard not to feel connected to and love them.
I adore their strong friendship and how well they work together as a team, with a few sassy comments sprinkled in which liven up the story!
The storyline is also fascinating, beginning with a twist — a person came back from the land of the dead and was seen walking about the street!
The mystery kept me hooked from the start, and the last few chapters are quite intense, leading up to the big reveal.
While the ending of Smoke and Mirrors tied up most things nicely, another unknown danger is still waiting for them all...
The cliff-hangers at the end definitely made me with I have book 3 in my hands because I needed to get on with the next adventure with these awesome characters!
Overall, this book is a fantastic addition to this series – a heart-warming and thrilling story which is a must-read for urban fantasy mystery lovers!
I received an advanced review copy from the author, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
