Sleight of Fantasy by Dima Zales

Sasha Urban, Book 4

Synopsis: My deal with Nero and my growing powers are supposed to keep me and my loved ones safe—yet the unthinkable happens.

When lines are crossed and blood is spilled, nothing will ever be the same again.

Review: Roooh I had a hard time not getting into the next book as soon as I finish a volume of the Sasha Urban series! Besides, I succumbed and I’ve already ordered Volume 5! I see that it will soon no longer be possible to do this and I must admit that I am already sad about it. But in the meantime, I continue with great pleasure!

Sasha is back at work and Nero is again her mentor. The latter is determined to protect her as much as he can and it all starts with teaching her to fight! And it’s not that easy. But here’s the thing: on top of that, Sasha will try to understand her growing powers and what she can do with them. And it must be said that she will discover things she didn’t expect. And then there’s Baba Yaga and we finally know why she asked Nero for this contract, and things get even more complicated.

I really had a great time again with our heroine. The story she has with Nero is complex and yet, I am still very curious to see how far things will go now. This series is really pleasant to read, with colorful characters and I loved seeing Kit and her eccentricity here as she is more present. Of course, there are also all the other characters as well, even though I’m quite sad by a direction of the story.

In any case, and with that in mind, I look forward to the next novel!
