I had a difficult time getting into this book. Why can I completely relate to modern writing and even old style, like Lovecraft or Austen, but give me something after the invention of television but before the Internet, and I am just lost.
Robert and Sherry don't have an ideal marriage. He has talent but no fame and a wandering eye. She has a little boy, a stifled need to create, and turns a blind eye. So when the exotically beautiful Lupe introduces them to her sisters and offers to be Robert's model, while allowing Sherry to study their intricate clothing, it seems too good to be true. And once the murders begin, it is. Enter Mark, the police detective with shielded physic abilities, and Diana, the gifted witch with a soft heart but a mean psibolt. Together, can they discover who or what is behind the strangely ritualistic murders that are growing in number and macabre details?
The very beginning of this book - where Mark recounts how he met Diana - was gripping! Loved it and thought the rest of the book would be like that. Also? I just love the Aztec culture. However, the back of the book lets you know just what Burning Water is, although the characters don't find out until more than halfway through the book. Perhaps that contributed to my opinion that the book moved too slowly (I skipped a big chunk of pages and didn't miss anything important).Also, I completely agree with the Treegarde Creed, as she called it. The last 100 or so pages were great! Even if I had the big secret figured out from the beginning...
