At the end of the previous installment, Lucy had decided to leave Lockwood & Co. and go into business for herself as a freelance consultant. With her powerful ability to hear spirits, and the help of her whispering skull, she does quite well for herself, but eventually she crosses paths with her old friends again, just as a sinister new conspiracy begins to unfold.
Lucy is as adorably flawed as ever, and her banter with the skull reminds me of the relationship between Harry Dresden and his enchanted skull, Bob. Although the structure of each story begins to be a bit predictable, I still enjoy the characters, dialogue, and action, and look forward to seeing the deeper mysteries of this world continue to unfold in the fifth and final book.
