“Karen Chance takes her place along with Laurell K. Hamilton, Charlaine Harris, MaryJanice Davidson, and J.D. Robb.”—SF Revu View our feature on Karen Chance’s Curse the Dawn. Cassandra Palmer may be the all-powerful Pythia now, but that doesn’t mean people have stopped trying to kill her. Most of the supernatural power players don’t want the independent minded Cassie as chief clairvoyant—and they’ll stop at nothing to see her six feet under. The Vampire Senate does support Cassie in her position, but their protection comes with a price: an alliance with the sexy master vampire Mircea, who has claimed Cassie as his own. But even the vampires will have trouble keeping Cassie alive now that the self-styled god Apollo, the source of the Pythia’s power, has it in for her in a big way. To save her life—and the world—Cassie’s going to have to face down her creator…

This one took me a while to get through. The first Dee scene was very randomly placed in the storyline, I did not think it meshed well at all. While it had to be inserted in the storyline for the ending of the book to work, there should have been a smoother transition into. I did like that this book took on a different view of the Pythias job, instead of just jumping through time the entire book. Cassie is slowly starting to step up to her position, while she does still whine she's doing it less. I still don't like how Mircea treats her like an object and pretty much ignores or chooses to be ignorant to what she says and wants. While this might be due to the fact that he was turned in a different century than Cassie I think Karen Chance needs to have his character develop.
