A very pregnant Elena is going stir crazy and wants out of the house. When a contact calls and offers her a deal - the location of a mutt (which is generally a Werewolf who is not in a pack and who hunts man)for the retrieval of the Jack the Ripper "From Hell" letter - Elena jumps at the chance. She manages to convince Clay and the Alpha Jeremy and they are off to her old stomping grounds in Toronto.
Of course nothing is ever as easy as it seems and nothing is exactly as it seems either. A tiny little act triggers the opening of a portal and out pop a couple of zombies who seem to be really intent on going after Elena. The portal also seems to have triggered a cholera epidemic in Toronto and suddenly the cities rat population is going kinda whack-o. Elena and the gang have to figure out how to right the wrong and get the portal closed and keep Elena and her growing belly safe from Zombie cooties.
I am a fan of Kelley Armstrong and although this book was not my favorite - I still could not put it down. In fact - I forgot to bring it with me to work and almost turned the car around when I realized I had forgotten it and went back for it. (Lazy won over need to finish the book and I kept on trucking to work without the book - but it was a close call!) I felt like the plot was fairly predictable and that the characters were a little off their game. I suppose that was supposed to be chocked up to Elena's pregnancy but that feels like an excuse. I also feel like there were a lot of ends not wrapped up in this one. (Did they even actually deliver the From Hell letter?)
I hope we see more of Zoe in future books. I enjoyed her quite a bit.
