      The characters develop at a natural pace, and I had to read much further into the night than I intended, at every sitting, because I was desperate to see how the relationship blossomed. And all that, before we get to the murder mystery. This is a well-crafted story, carried along mainly by largely believable, unforced, dialogue, interspersed with good, clear descriptions of scenes. Enjoyable and recommended!

      Well, how good is this book? The fact that I've given it 5 stars says it all. Two beings, of different species, both after something from the legendary sea hag. Both using each other to get it, not realising that they're each being used. The fluent style moves the tale along nicely without the writing getting in the way of the story -- my view is that anyone who can do that is an excellent writer, and Lori Devoti certainly does that. The reader's not being told what's happening, the reader's there under the sea with them watching it. And one phrase will stay with me for a long time: "mission to insanity." Absolutely loved this book.
