Between dealing with the mess that is now Manhattan and her world-ending prophetic nightmares, Merilee Alexander has a lot on her plate. She is used to dealing with her sacred duties as a warrior witch--namely being the "broom" to sweep out the trash. But lately her job has been made even more difficult by her fantasies of a certain officer in the NYPD Occult Crimes Unit. It doesn't help that the star of these fantasies, Jake Lowell, won't give her the time of day. What Merilee doesn't know is that Jake is about to burst from hiding his true feelings. He wants her just as desperately as she wants him, but he has secrets of his own. Secrets of the dangerous and demonic kind. So when Jake and Merilee are tasked with investigating a demonic kingpin who has disguised himself as a key leader--the pair must go further into the city's supernatural underbelly than ever before to save the world as they know it. "All hell is breaking loose in the rousing conclusion to Windsor's remarkable supernatural trilogy, the Dark Crescent Sisterhood. Throughout the series the epic struggle between the sybils and the evil Legion has been growing darker, leading to inevitable and tragic losses. Windsor's gift for delivering epic yet extremely personal stories makes her a genuine find and a name to watch." -RT Book Review
