Editorial Review:
Cassandra Palmer may be the world's chief clairvoyant, but she's still magically bound to a master vampire. Only an ancient book called the Codex Merlini possesses the incantation to free Cassie-but harnessing its limitless power could endanger the world...

Rating:  - Read This!!
If you haven't started reading this series yet, what the heck is stopping you??!! This has been the one of the best, most original and cohesive series in the last few years. Each of the three installments has delivered excellent story for the money and shows plenty of future promise. It reminds me of the early Anita Blake and Dark Hunter series before they lost the spark of ingenuity that lured in their first and most avid readers.
Chance's series has everything from vampires, the mob, ... Read More
Rating:  - nice addition
Cassie is the next Pythia, leading clairvoyant, who has more groups and people out to kill her than you could keep count of. Luckily, she also has some pretty kick-a** friends to back her up. Her primary goal in this novel is to retrieve the Codex, which contains a spell that will hopefully break the geis that connects her to a very powerful master vampire. Not that she doesn't care for said vampire, it's just that she would prefer to not see him go insane by it. Unfortunately, the Codex also contains ... Read More
Rating: - Best in Urban Fantasy Fiction
I love this series! In my opinion, it's the best in the genre. This book was action packed and exciting from the first word to the last, with a sparkling wit and a great plotline. I think my favorite thing in Chance's world are the characters. Books to me rise or fall on whether or not I connect with the characters, and hers just seem so real. This book gave a LOT of backstory on some of my faves, which made me very happy, and introduced some fun new ones as well. I especially liked Radella, the warrior ... Read More
Rating: - The series hits stride in this sequel
I read all 3 books in this series last weekend. The third novel evolves Cassandra Palmer into a character with humor and an inner dialog of snappy remarks.
John Pritkin, War Mage, has become the reliable side-kick. Who would've thought? And still on the Team, a ghost who was killed over cheating at cards.
In this sequel, Cassandra Palmer, clairvoyant, is the Pythia (based on Greek mythology, the story of Apollo and the Oracle.) Cassie hasn't had the training to know all her powers. ... Read More
Rating:  - Uncohesive Fast Paced Mess
Really, my tolerance for Cassandra stepping in the middle of things, randomly time-jumping, and going off on a zillion tangents is exhausted. Karen Chance doesn't understand the concept of plot flow, and her transitions between chapters are jarring, almost like two different stories with the same main character. The worst in "Embrace the Night" was between chapters 12-13.
In book three, we have the same issues popping up again. Is Pritkin on Cassie's side, and who exactly is he? Is Mircea going ... Read More
