Book 2 - Vincent Tucat is the most talked-about Lord in Harael, and that's not exactly a good thing. Dozens of Lords have been robbed from, and they all suspect he's the one behind it. To keep things from getting worse, he must track down an elusive thief who disguises himself as a wraith. At least, Vincent hopes it's a disguise . . .
A great book. Its plot twists were perhaps less extreme and surprising than Two Cat's were, but it still had more genuine suspense and twisty-ness in it than many more well-known series. I personally am also a big fan of those characters who somehow just happen to sort of adopt a kid without meaning to—face it, accidental not-a-dad Vincent is hilarious . Just as snarky and funny as Two Cats, though I don't remember getting quite so bored during some of the middle parts of the previous book. When the plot gets going, it's amazingly exciting, but sometimes the pace slows and gets repetitive. I did also really like getting to see the results of Cyrus's part in the last book that got him more screen time and the emergence of Talia as a real character instead of background eye candy—not that she isn't often treated that way anyway.
