Last month, I reviewed Harry Connolly’s Child of Fire which introduced Ray Lilly, who turns out to be more than his boss expected. Game of Cages offers up more Ray!

drey’s thoughts:
Ray Lilly has (luckily? surprisingly?) survived the events at Hammer Bay in Child of Fire and is working the late shift at a supermarket when someone shows up from the society to bring him along on a job. A little one, but a job nonetheless…
Then he finds out that Catherine’s not a peer, she’s an investigator, sent to check out an auction. And when things get hairy–there was a predator being auctioned, and it’s now loose–Ray can only really depend on himself, while trying to keep Catherine and the residents of Washaway safe. Difficult to do when all he has is his ghost knife, and the local law enforcement breathing down his back because he can’t tell them anything.
Harry Connolly keeps you on your toes from the first page until the very last word as you ride shotgun with Ray in this rough-and-tumble read. Check it out if this is how you hang (but read Child of Fire first).
