Nadia has just started her road to recovering from the Crucible...and lets just say it is not going well. She is jumping at everything, literally freezing all the time, and trying to numb the nightmares. But it seems a full blown mental breakdown isn't going to stop Morvilind from sending her on a mission.
However this one is arguable the worst so far- not only is he having her steal things, but he's making her steal them for the Rebels (at the behest of the Forerunner) What the actual hell is going on?
But from the frying pan into the fire I guess because who is the Rebel set to direct her thievery--oh none other than her psycho terrorist ex Nicholas Connor and his band of committed delusional nitwits.
Can Nadia steal what she needs to steal without loosing what little sanity she has left or will her time in the Cucible leave her ill prepared to fight for the future of humanity?
“I can’t control myself. I went to hell, and it broke me, and I can’t control myself anymore. I’m sorry.”

Suffering from the trials of the last book Nadia is again forced into a situation with lots of problems. Looking forward to the next book

Firstly, I want to address what I thought had been a contradiction in the previous book. Although Nadia cannot be heard, seen or smelled when cloaked, this book reveals that she will leave a scent trail as she moves about. So that explains that.
Nadia's time in an Eternity Crucible has given her enough magical power that Lord Morviland deems her adequate to fulfill his bargain with the Forerunner. I believe the Forerunner is who decided the timing as he is manipulating the Rebels and their plan is coming to fruition. Nadia must obtain three items designated by Nicholas Connor, her former lover and head of the Rebels, who incidentally would like nothing better than to see her dead. Nadia's reciprocates the feeling.
She has a longer discourse with Lord Morviland than we've ever seen, even flat out disagreeing with and insulting him. Apparently the severe psychological damage and numerous deaths have inured her fear of him somewhat. But, as we all know by this time, she is helpless to refuse him if she wants to keep her brother alive.
Nadia works with Nicholas and his crew to obtain a briefcase that had been interred in the tomb of a former Rebel leader. This involves entering the ruined city of Chicago filled with undead and guarded by a myothar.
She manages to overcome all obstacles, including a not totally unexpected betrayal by Nicholas, to live to fight another day.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Our hero is doing well at the second part!
Working with rebels who really would like to see her dead is one of those challenges that gives one a chance to grow as a person, or get killed violently, whichever comes first. Who knows? Maybe dealing with mental issues while doing the job might be an advantage?
This book was fun. Trying to figure out just what each of the player was going to do kept it very interesting.

Having to work face to face with someone that used you and almost caused your death, yes, yet again this MC faces the most unjust and cruel things. A hot spot in present day news is also the backdrop of this book, what a coincidence. Brainless undead, sounds about right. Probably not the parallel this author was going for but, I am pretty sure I won’t be the only one contemplating that. All my reviews are always voluntarily written.

Deal with the Dark Ones #1
And here our heroine Nadia Moran is totally broken after being subjected to the hellish experience in the last book. And her boss hires her via the Forerunner to steal 3 items for the Dark Ones (lead her ex-boyfriend Nicholas Connor ). To make things worser the job will take place in a city destroyed by the Elves, forbidden to humans and inhabited by Undead and Myothar (a Lovecraftian inspired creature ). once again a great read .

Cloak Games: Tomb Bowl Review
Dear Jonathan, another entertaining and wonderful story in the continuing series. Nadia keeps getting in deeper and deeper into trouble but somehow manages to extricate herself each time in a wonderful crafty manner. I highly recommend reading this book and series to anyone interested in reading a great story. Thanks for the entertainment.

I really like the new and more awesome version of the main character and her upgraded powers. It was fun seeing her now have to interact more with the rebels. The only thing that detracted from the story was still too much emphasis on physical beauty, attraction, and now some added jealousy. It didn't really detract from the story, but got on my nerves a bit.

The bad ex from Nadia's past shows up and it is clear he is still a bad guy. As always, the action had the pages turning late into the night. I had two challenges overall--the forced abandonment of Nadia's family and boyfriend that was needed to make the plot work never rang true, and the blatant set up for two more books. It felt a bit like the author was milking his dedicated readers.

I like this books, I do miss some romance ...but I can leave with it.
I'm sorry to see that she is in such a bad place, but in can be understood, and I hope that she will come back to more former self..even if she will never be the same...

Frenemies
Morvilind has Nadia working with the Rebels so he can get information from one of the Dark Ones. While that sucks, having to work with her ex is worse. New masters and mishaps ensue.

Bam
The action keeps growing as Nadia faces ever greater enemies.
With far more power comes far more danger to all around

I am binge reading this series at the moment and its very enjoyable. Now on book nine will review books 4-8 in book eight.

First part of a story. Strong read, but not quite as good as some others, an incomplete story arc, and several proofreading errors in chapter 10.

Exciting
Another grand adventure! Nadia has gotten out of a lot of turmoil and danger, but can she overcome a past ex who is determined to use her for his own agenda?

Book 7 of Cloak Games. Serious spoilers ahead.
Starting with the way it opens with her PTSD from the events of book 6. She injures her brother Russell -- he's not killed by chance -- and flees. Then she calls Riordan and breaks up with him. After attempting to cope with drunkenness -- it doesn't work -- she is summoned by Lord Morviland, who deduces much of what happened. But he still gives her a job: to steal three things as the Forerunner asks. Given the villiany of the Forerunner, she tries and fails to balk. Especially since she knows the subordinate the Forerunner delegates choosing to.
It involves a doctor who had injured people while driving drunk, the former Secretary of Defense, the ability of the undead to utter cryptic riddles that might foretell the future, poison, pretending to be an Inquisition agent, and more

Yet another astounding installment in an already excellent series
We had foreshadowing of the setup for this book in the last, but I won’t spoil a thing for you except to say that a terribly troubled Nadia now finds herself working with those she truly loathes, and the resultant story is FABULOUS, and I don’t use the F-word lightly… not at all.
You’ll see.
FYI: Although Each of these books is technically a standalone novel, do not even BOTHER to try reading the series out of order. It’s a waste of time, and you will miss so much, you will not enjoy it in the way it was meant to be enjoyed. Absent that, all I can say is, ENJOY!
Tee-hee
