After unsatisfied by the end of the previous book, I guess there are so many readers also react the same, since this book finally show-up. The fourth book who written from Ash’s perspective, tell the story after he took a journey to find way – a very difficult and impossible way, so he could back in Meghan’s side.  Since he already exiled from Winter Court, then exiled from Iron’s fey to by her new Queen (yeaahh – the main reason is because Meghan love him so much to watch him being suffering if he must living in the place that killing him bit by bit). Considering his situation, I could related by his desperation to try even the craziest thing, to get back his life, or at least a very compromize situation between him and Meghan.

Buku ini kutemukan dalam timbunan buku-buku obral akhir tahun di salah satu toko buku. Sayangnya buku ke-2 tidak kutemukan, alhasil sembari menunggu, kubaca buku ke-3 seri Bourbon Kid yang jujur nyaris kulupakan karena buku ke-1 tuntas kubaca entah beberapa tahun silam. Membaca buku edisi bahasa Inggris ini ternyata jauh lebih menyenangkan, sekaligus menggelitik karena penuh ‘makian’ dan kata-kata ‘mutiara’ sepanjang adegan full adrenalin tanpa jeda. Jangan terburu berpikiran negatif, karena dijamin membaca buku ini bakal ketawa habis termasuk adegan-adegan perburuan zombies melawan vampir.
