Blackmailed once more into helping Dare, the demonic head of the Hellfire club, Cady runs into a demon with incredible powers, vastly ramped up from the last time she met him. Before she can discover the source of his enhanced gifts the creep is dead. Cady is not at all eager to help Dare with his little issue, until it becomes personal. Even more disturbingly, whenever Kady calls on her silver moon powers she senses the last person on any plane she would want to meet, the embodiment of selfish evil also known as Cady's mother.

Jenn Bennett's series has intrigued me from the first; a woman on the run from her past, with powers not easily quantified set in an urban fantasy milieu with very unique aspects. This is enough to make it worth buying each book, but what truly keeps me coming back and eager for each new release in the series is the relationship Bennet has crafted between Cady, Lon and Jupe. In BINDING THE SHADOWS, book three of the Arcadia Bell series, a new complexity within that aspect of the story is integral to the solution of the mystery. Book four, Crossing the Aether, is due out May 2014.
