Isabella has a big problem: she’s in debt to a fae for the magic protecting her house and this is not a good time to be unprotected. Several men from her past have come to town and she’d rather not be found. The fae’s price for the enchantment is retrieving something from lots of vampires and she knows from experience that she doesn’t like dealing with vampires.

However she finds that she has no real choice in the matter after another job falls through. Isabella starts investigating the fae’s task further and it leads her down a increasingly strange and dangerous path.

I really enjoyed this book. The plotting is intricate and the story is full of surprises. Small details become important in surprising ways. The prose is well-written and the atmosphere is well defined. Overall this was a thrilling book.

This is the second book is the Isabella Hush series but there is enough backstory included to make the plot understandable. (I do want to go back and read the first book though.). I’m looking forward to the next book in this series.
